Dear Mr Cornwell

I have just finished reading the whole Sharpe and Starbuck chronicles series, for the I don’t know how many times, (I’m on a long road trip holiday) and I was wondering firstly is Starbucks cavalryman friend Patrick Lassan the son of Sharpe or is the just pure coincidence? And also if in the next Starbuck chronicle Sharpe could visit his son if that is correct? And so meet Starbuck. I know he would be into his 80’s by now, but he was always a strong fellow. Finally I would just like to say thank you for so many great reads, it make the hundreds of kilometres drive much more enjoyable.

Regards,

Archie
