Hello Bernard, I’m currently working my way through the Sharpe books in chronological order and posting a synopsis of each one at www.hookton.com – I love the way that the character of Richard Sharpe has grown througout the series and I really feel that you have ‘got under his skin’ so to speak and know how he will react in any given situation. The later books in particular and certainly by Sharpe’s Enemy we really see a fully formed and complex character. Thank you for giving us Richard Sharpe and long may you continue to create such wonderful characters. Tonyblack
