Hi Bernard, I have just enjoyed reading Sharpes Fury and am now in eager anticipation of the next in the series,having read all the rest. In my search for other stories set in the same period I have come across an author called Richard Howard (I think this may be one of Shaun Hutson’s pen names). He has a series starting with Bonapartes Sons, where the main character seems to be the opposite of Sharpe in many ways. He is French, An aristocrat posing as a peasant who should be an officer but remains a common soldier, and he a a Dragoon. Although these books don’t have the same depth and feeling as yours they are still a good read, I wondered if you had read any of them and if so what you thought? Richard Blackwell
