dear Mr Cornwell I have just finished reading ‘SHARPE’S ENEMY’ again. Reason being, I was given Sharpe’s Escape’ hardback. as a presant but I could not bring myself to read it bcause it interrupted the sequence of the books. So I had to read them from the begining again. I do enjoy them, but if you are writing any new Sharpe’s books, will it be in the near future? By the way I do agree with you getting shot of Hakeswill, it was a mistake, he was an evil charactor and I always looked forward to reading how the hell he was going to get out of the next scrape. His death by firing squard was too good for him I would have liked him to die a slow death, befitting his character. Barry
