Rather than an evil twin, I think Hakeswill probably has an older brother who was more evil than Hakeswill and taught him everything he knew, and joins the army in the ranks to get even with the bastard Sharpe who he has heard gave his brother so much grief. Revenge being in the scriptures so to speak. All yours. CP

Hello, after taking a gap form reading Sharpe I’ve been reading Wellington: the Iron Duke, a Dorset Rifleman and Rebels and Redcoats, I’m back on Sharpe now though! I’ve still been glancing at the website, and there’s been a lot of Obadiah talk recently. You’re cooking up something with him, I can feel it. A new novel? Evil twin Jedediah? You’re not gonna tell me are you? Oh well. James Trethowan
