Dear Mr. Cornwell, I have just finished another wonderful novel Sharpe’s Tiger, making six very enjoyable novels. I learned about you from the PBS series a few years ago, it was great, but still did not do the book justice. Are you considering another stab at making a movie? Considering the success of Master and Commander, I believe that your product would be a natural. In fact I would be shocked if even Hollywood could mess up the rich characters that you have developed. Keep up the wonderful work and I have a great deal of reading to do on your other books.
