Are you planning to write any more books about the Royal Navy as you did in Sharpe’s Trafalgar? I really enjoyed the descriptions of life aboard the Pucelle. It lead me to researching the battle and I found out that a distant relative of mine called John Sales fought in the Battle of Trafalgar. He was press-ganged into serving on HMS Revenge. He was 45 years old and from your descriptions must have had a pretty miserable time! Jake Sales
