Hi

I know you must get hundreds of requests for other Sharpe books, but I cannot get it out of my head that he has a daughter, Antonia in Spain.Could you not write a further book some years after Waterloo, when due to his daughter needs his help but as he is older, he needs to be somewhat wiser, perhaps to rescue her from an old enemy? Just a thought.Is there not a war after 1815 that Sharpe could be involved in?Kind regards

Mr. Cornwell!

I’m a great fan of your Sharpe series and most anything else you’ve written and i’ve read, and i really look forward the continuation (hopefully?) of the adventures of Sharpe and Harper.I must say though, one thing i would have loved to have seen more of is Sharpe conducting his own battles! It would have been such fun to see what strategies and tactics Sharpe would have come up with when he was fighting larger scale battles. In addition to, of course, watching his plain old unyielding drive for victory and resolute leadership. Of course i understand the difficulties and limitations when working within historical fiction, and the ‘historical’ part being very well documented at that, so such scenarios are hard to come up with without veering too far into ‘fantasy’ land.

But just for fun, why not? What say you? How would “general Sharpe” have fared against the likes of Napoleon or Wellington on the battlefield? I can’t imagine that he wouldn’t have been a ‘General Baird type’, scything though the enemy on the front lines at the first opportunity, even if he should be a little more clever than that.
