Sharpe’s Devil introduced me to your writing years ago. Since then there isn’t a Sharpe’s novel I haven’t read at least twice. Don’t we all wish we had a bit of Sharpe in us, with a steady companion like Patrick Harper watching over us. Your discriptions of Sharpe’s adventures sent me to the history books and the internet to learn more about the events you’ve described. I now hold Wellington in awe, and continue to be amazed at what the British common soldier endured and accomplished. And this from someone who grew up with the American Civil War idolizing Lee, Grant, Jackson and Forrest. To me your absolute triumph is the Arthurian trilogy. You brought this mythic icon alive, and made believable and human an otherwise unapproachable legendary hero. I’ve read the Morte d’Arthur, the White novels, and many others, but yours stands out as my favorite. That said, I do hope Sharpe and Harper march again. Greg Kelsey, Woodstock, IL
