Dear Mr. Cornwell, I’m now reading Sharpe’s Eagle and I’m very confused. I read all 7 previous books and in Sharpe’s Eagle there are two times when the stories don’t match – at the first when Sharpe meets Lawford again it is said he was a sergeant when he was at the Tipoo’s prison which contradicts the plot of Tiger. I’m now at the end of chapter 14 and there it is said that Sharpe has not met Hill – and that contradicts the Seminary meeting at Havoc. I enjoy your books very much but find these mismatches confusing. I have all the Sharpe books in waiting – were they not meant to be read in chronological order?
