Hi, I sent you an email a few weeks ago asking about the order in which to read the Sharpe novels in. And i just wanted to write back to you and say that i am totally hooked, im getting through nearly 2 a week. I will have to stop soon as Im running out of money to pay for them. Ive nearly finished Sharpes Prey which i am enjoying so much! What i shall have to do is re-read Tiger, Triumph, Fortress and Trafalgar all again before the next pay packet comes in and i can buy Sharpes Rifles. But im not sure i can wait. I have even tried to get it out of the library but it seams that they are in high demand! And who can blame the people of my town for loving your books so much. I really liked Trafalgar, my Family has a keen interrest in Nelson as we are all from Portsmouth and the book brought it all to the present for me. It has triggered a interrest in the battle and the whole history behind and about the Napoleonic war! I can’t wait to start reading all about it. I liked the way Sharpe’s life was kind of running parallel with Nelson’s with the love of Grace. And the hardship that both Sharpe and Emma had to face without their loved ones. I can’t wait to read the next books in the series, thanks for writing them. Clare
