Dear Mr. Cornwell, After a friend turned me on to the Grail Quest series I couldn’t stand it, I had to have more. Returned the favor by getting him hooked on the Starbuck Chronicles, then had to loan him the Crowning Mercy and Gallows Thief (sorry, you lost a sale on those). Had put off starting the Sharpe series, but what a mistake that was. Just finishing Sharpe’s Sword and think the only one I’ve missed is Havoc. In a way they’re like a soap opera in that you can miss huge chunks of it but catch right up in a few pages. Already have Stonehenge and The Scoundrel in my “to read” pile if I can pry myself away from Richard and Patrick for a couple of weeks. Thank you for these wonderful series and I look forward to contributing to your royalty checks for some time to come. Steve Thomas
