Dear Bernard, In regards to Sharpe you have said about not taking him back again but could you ever change your mind since you left out the battles of Rolica and Vimero and the convention of Cintra admittedly Junot was a poor opponent (and mad) and pretty much it seemed every french soldier besides him knew they were not going to win at Vimero but Delaborde put up a good fight at Rolica and seems a decent foe for Sharpe???

btw just curious but what happened to Fredrickson in Sharpes Waterloo it said he was in Canada and had served in the war of 1812 I just wondered where you would have had him end up as the war stretched from Fort Mackinac in the far west to Lundy’s Lane inn the middle to Maine and Washington/Baltimore in the east????? Regards Geraint

P.S Can you give a clue on what setting the next book post Viking will be around????
