I have just completed Conn Iggulden’s wonderful two series on Genghis Khan and Julius Caesar. I noted with interest your review of one of the books (can’t recall which), where you said “I wish I’d written it”. That got me thinking that a series with one of Caesar’s soldiers as the lead character would be a delicious addition to your portfolio. With only four of the Sharpe books left to go before I’ve read all of your delightful books, I’d love to see a new series based on the infinite possibilities of the Roman era. Thanks for the many hours of pleasure you’ve given me and millions of other readers.
