Hi Bernard.

Looking forward to/dreading the final Uhtred book this year (Not ready for it to end!).

In the meantime I have been re-reading Sharpe and can i ask does Sharpe’s failure to murder Hakeswell in Tiger, Triumph and Fortress lead to his decision to hand him over the authorities in Enemy? And the same later on with Ducos in Revenge? Or has he just simply learnt the value of justice as he grows older?

Also one final question we’re seeing lots of reboots at the minute would you be open to a Sharpe reboot? And who would be your choice to play Sharpe?

For me it would be Sam Riley the distinct accent being a key part of this, but that’s just me! Although it would be hard seeing Sharpe played by anyone but Sean Bean.

Hope you are well and please keep the books coming!!!

Jim
