I have recently re-read Sharpe’s Honour and noted in the foreword you wrote that you regret killing off that most wonderful of villains, Obidiah Hakeswill. I then remembered in another Sharpe, (cannot remember which!), that Richard mentions that Hakeswill recruited him into the army.So I wonder if you have ever thought of using that as a possible Sharpe book- their first ever meeting- then Obidiah could rise from the dead!!
