Bernard, Just a message to say what a fan I am of you and Sharpe. I have read all the books and then when I can listen to them as books on tape as I drive to work. It is good to hear the stories done in the accent of the characters and it is always great to have a story read to you. The commute goes very fast. I am waiting on Sharpe’s next adventure. My other favorite author is WEB Grifffin. You both have stories steeped in war but the characters are the main part of the story, not war. So, thanks for the great stories and please keep it up. I also enjoy the other series too. Dick Dufty
