I made Sharpe’s Escape last as long as I could, but I’ve finished it now. It was everything I’d hoped for and once again you have delighted me. I’ve now read all of the Sharpe series twice (well, Escape only once so far) and everything else you’ve written except the thrillers once. Now I have to decide which series to reread next while I wait for The Last Kingdom. I notice it only seems to have a UK release date, but I’ll swim there to get it if I have to. Thank you again, sir.
