Mr Cornwell I felt that I had to past comment as your books are the best there are! I have my entire adult life been reading your books (35 now!) Including the famous Sharpe. I have found them all a formidable read. I was wondering have you read Allan Mallison books on Mathew Hervey of the Light Dragons. And what if any, are your comments regarding his particular skill at the continuity in his books? Once again Hats off to you sir!!! Bill Wright
