I am a retired US Army officer, and so I have an appreciation for “the fog of war” (thank you John Keegan). I discovered your Sharpe series while recouperating after an injury. In my boredom, I actually turned on the TV and there he was – Richard Sharpe. I was struck by the authentic nature of the action and the brilliant story lines. I immediately instructed anyone who would listed to a broken Colonel, to ge me some “Sharpe books”. They did, and I devoured them. I’m still reading your books (and others)and have enjoyed every one of them. I know you get lots of letters and emails asking for something, this one is a bit different. I just had to say that you’ve brought me so much enjoyment, and I hope that you continue to far into the future. N.B. I’ve passed all of your books that I have read to veteran’s centers and hospitals. Old soldiers love a good yarn! God bless.
