Dear Bernard I was introduced to the Sharpe books by a friend last Christmas and I have to say I’m hooked. I listen to the audio books going to and from work. What a great way to pass the time. William Gaminara’s reading adds to the enjoyment. I have a question: I thought Sharpe killed Obadiah Hakeswill in Sharpe’s Fortress. However, he has just turned up again in Sharpe’s Company. I realise the latter was written before the former, but I don’t remember reading any details on how he survived the snake pit. Have I missed something? Kindest regards Eric McCashey
