I wanted to write to you as I felt compelled to congratulate you on your Sharpe series. I’ve chosen to read them in the order you’ve suggested and am now just finishing Sharpes Trafalgar, so I’ve a while to go yet. Pior to reading the Sharpe series I enjoyed CC Humphreys Jack Abolsute, and was an even greater admirer of the Asian Saga by James Clavell. However no writer has captured my attention quite like yourself. My one complaint is that now I must finish the entirety of the series, and will not be able to enjoy other peoples works! Quite selfish of you Mr Cornwell! You’ve a fan in Australia, no doubt you’ve many in fact. Ben.
