Dear Mr. Cornwell, I would first like to apologise for this question as it’s one you’ve probably been asked before by us scary Sharpe fans. But I couldn’t seem to see if it had been asked before on your web-site. Do you plan to end the Sharpe books? that’s not a hint by the way :-) I LOVE the books truly. I read a lot, and when ever I’m reading something else I’m looking over my shoulder at my Sharpe self, waiting to read the next. I myself would love Sharpe to continue or read about his grandkids in the Crimea or something. But alas he is a mortal man. I was just wondering when if ever you plan to finish it?

Oh and a smaller note, on Sharpe’s Tiger, UK edition. On that suburb drawing of the tiger rifle, the frizzen doesn’t actually cover the pan. Just a friendly question, just wondered if you noticed? :-) Your Fan Always, Andrew
