Dear Mr Cornwell May I firstly thank you for the wonderful books you write. Another author I like is Simon Scarrow and his “Eagle” series of books featuring Centurions Macro and Cato, who are almost a Roman version of Sharpe and Harper. I Note on the cover of these books you are quoted as “I don’t need this kind of competition”. I was wondering how you feel about having your quotes on the covers of other authors books and if you have actually read the books in question? Thank you Gary
