Thanks to my local library, I have just finished re-reading all of the Sharpe Books in sequence as a break from Bios & History tomes, my normal reading material. I have enjoyed them immensely and have done them all in less than 10 days. If I have any comments at all, it is that some of the continuety was a bit pear shaped, but, what the heck, it did not detract from the pure enjoyment I’ve received from your writing and hope there are more Sharpe novels planned. Being a ‘writer’ myself, I certainly admire your ability to go back to interspese ‘prequels’ and ‘sequels’ into the Sharpe saga. (It was especially enjoyable reading the death of the maggot sergeant twice!). Barry Bruyea
