Dear Mr.Cornwell I am an avid reader of the Sharpe series and I am nearing the end of the series, so it has occurred to me to ask if you are planning to write any new prequels concerning either Sharpe’s training or the Flanders Campaign. I would appreciate another cracking good Novel to read later. Thank you for your time, I would be grateful for a response Tom Jones

Dear Bernard I have very recently re read every Sharpe book you have written, in year order, most enjoyable. I will miss Sharpe and Harper very much. It strikes me that a young Sharpe was on the run from the constables when he joined the army, as a private, and fought in Flanders, became a sergeant, where, when and why. Could this not be a start of a new Sharpe? I am 73 years old now but I hope to read a new Sharpe very soon. Yours sincerely, David Kennedy
