Dear Mr Cornwell, I have looked through the question pages and asked a few friends who are fans of the Sharpe series and still I’m unsure of something in regard to the Sharpe books. My reading of the series has never been anywhere approaching chronological so perhaps that has something to do with it and I’ve missed the answer. Perhaps you are unfinished with the character? My question is what becomes of the lawyer,philosopher and warrior extraordinaire Lieutenant Vicente? Thanks! Rhys Adamec
