Hello Mr Cornwell, have just finished Sharpe’s Fortress. A friend in Hangzhou said it was your only book in stock so I told her to grab it. Overall what I enjoyed was the pace of the book. Where did you get Captain Torrance from? I sure I worked with him in the corporate world. I wonder if the fortress Gawilghur will be rebuilt and become a tourist hotel? If they have nice hotels why not? You say Mr William Dodd was a renegade fugitive from the East India company but with hindsight the East India company was a group of nasty renegades. They and their families became wealthy on the lives of thousands . Nazis who won? Hope to have Azincourt soon. Regards Nicholas.
