Dear Bernard While enjoying your novels of prequel Sharpe in India and enjoying them heart’ly. I wondered if you will ever write about Sharpe in the Flanders Campaign where Wellington (And Sharpe?) learned not what to do. From accounts Wellington had command of the rearguard much of the time and did some heavy fighting especially on the River Waal and it was not simply Boxtel. Besides speaking for myself only knowing how Sharpe served under Obadiah Hakeswill and seeing him again would be great fun.

And finally if you are doing more one off novels ever thought of Clive and India and Plassey? Yours sincerely Tony
