I have enjoyed reading several of your series. I started with Sharpe and recalled the TV versions. I have read 2 of the sailing titles, Patagonia was very interesting almost a virgin land. I read the grail books as quickly as I could. I just finished the 1st Uthred title and look forward to the others. I teach middle school social studies so many of your books find their way into my lectures. Hopefully I can stimulate my students with history and reading. Last summer I undertook reading the Hornblower books in historical order and enjoyed reading the Sharpe book of the same period but offering the army point of view. I have also read all the WEB Griffin books, in order. I was a history major, served in the army in Europe and Korea, grew-up at the Chesapeake Bay so like sailing. Howard Coe
