Dear Mr Cornwell, I have read your Starbuck books over the years and immensely enjoyed them. Just recently I read The Fort, and remembered just how thoroughly I liked your writing. However,I have often looked at the Sharpe series and would always say to myself that British military history would not interest me – only American. Well, I can honestly now admit how completely wrong I was! I borrowed Sharpe’s Tiger from my local library and am now completely hooked. I am just finishing Sharpe’s Rifles and I am more than looking forward to reading and enjoying the whole series. My question to you is this; I am currently reading them in chronological order. How would YOU, being the author, recommend to read them? As I am, or in published date order? I thank you once again for blessing us with your superb writing skills and look forward to the continued enjoyment of your books. With Best Regards, Jay Mooney
