Having read all the books in the Sharpe series, I was recently given the three novels In the Grail Quest series.   I became so absorbed in this tale that I read the three books over a period of five days.   I am sorry that the series did not continue to portray the later life of Thomas.     I do have one question.    In the notes you make at the end of the third book, you say that the town of Berat does not exist.     With respect I must point out that Berat is a small town in the Midi-Pyrenees, some 35 kms south-east of Toulouse .    Today it has a population of circa 2500 but I am told that in Medieval times the place name did exist albeit the name of only  a very small hamlet.

Sincerely
