Dear Bernard, I am addicted to your books! I started with the Grail series and have now moved on to Sharpe (in between I have read several others too). I wish you had written the battles in Lord of the Rings, your battles are superbly written. I have read up to Sharpe’s Sword and will not watch the corresponding TV episode on DVD until I read the book. I made the mistake of watching Sword last night, which is not in the correct order (I missed the Enemy episode). Of course in Enemy I believe Sharpe gets promoted to Major, so in the Sword episode he is already a major, unlike the book. If you followed all that(!) this leads me to my questions. Why did the writers of the series change the order? Why did they change the stories so much? Where was LeRoux’s sister for example? Looking forward to getting more Saxon books (I have 4 at the moment), although I have the rest of the Sharpe’s to read, 3 Starbucks and 3 Arthur books also! Stonehenge and Stormchild will have to wait. Keep up the good work, wish I could make it to one of your signings, thanks, Nigel.
