I have read and own a copy of a lot of your books and I am finding it hard to pick a favourite. The Sharpe series I have read several times and they introduced me to your books, I find that as individual books and as a overall series they are brilliant but I do find the continuity (I read somewhere that the continuity was due to the tv series and writing for them) can be a bit off putting.  The gallows thief I have read twice and think that is brilliant and I would love to see that character appear again. The saxon series is I have to admit a awesome series and I can’t wait for the next one to come out. The grail quest I enjoyed. and redcoat I think is due for another read shortly. I purchased Azincourt today which sounds interesting and I am half way through Stonehenge and I love the twist and turns in it. So as you can see I have a bit of a dilemma choosing which book is my favourite. And do you have a favourite? and do you agree with me about the Sharpe series? Also is the rumour i heard true that you are thinking of writing a Sharpe book about Sharpe growing up before he joined the army? well thank you very much for taking the time to read my comments. Also many thanks for the hours and hours of pleasurable reading that you have given me. Many thanks, Gary Norman
