Hi. Having previously read most of the Sharpe cannon, I’m just now reading them again to include the ‘prequels’. I’m reading Sharpe’s Trafalgar which I’m enjoying enormously. You’ve previously stated that wanted Sharpe to be a ‘land-based version of C.S.Foresters Hornblower books’ Did you write Sharpe’s Trafalgar as a ‘homage’ to Hornblower and did you re-read any of the Forester books before you wrote ‘Trafalgar’?
