Hi Mr. Cornwell, I was wondering whether there are any more Sharpe books in the making? I have enjoyed them immensely, not just as good novels but the history in them along with your historical notes helped with my A level research (in regards to dates etc). Anyway would be nice to know what happens to Sharpe and Harper in the end, hopefully something in line with their reputations! With the greatest history/book lovers respect, Steve Jones

I am nearly finished reading all the Sharpe books in historical order and I’m already feeling withdrawal. I am near the end of Sharpe’s Devil and was shocked at the reference to Sharpe’s witnessing his first sea battle. Yes, I know Devil was written long before Trafalgar, but it felt like a very unusual, for you, anachronism. Guess there’s no way to fix that! Anyway, I am a middle aged woman who never could have imagined loving books on war, but I do love Richard Sharpe and am sorry to be through with him.
