Mr Cornwell. Greetings. May I say sir that I have read every Sharpe book and watched the TV shows over and over and enjoyed every minute. I have just received my copy of Sharpe’s Escape and read it in one afternoon. It is by far the best of them all. It is thouroughly exciting, enthralling and is one of those books that you cannot put down. I cannot wait for the next. Long may you reign as the premier military thriller author. I always thought that Alexander Kent, Dudley Pope and the like were ace, but the Sharpe series surpass anything else. Keep well Sir, and long may you write. Kind regards, John Cooper
