I’m sure you have heard this before, but if you were going to have Sgt Hakeswill’s character return in “sharpe’s Company” How or why did you kill him off earlier? did the snake not kill him? I know the books were not written in chronological order. I started the series slowly, but then after or during book two, Sharpe’s Triumph, I cannot read them fast enough. Thank you for the very interesting history lesson. Are the rest of your series and characters based on History? Thank you again for such enjoyable reading.
