Dear Mr. Cornwell, I would like to thank you for the hours of pleasure I have had from reading you books. Although I have read the Sharpe series more than any other books I must say that I enjoyed the Gallows Thief the most. I listened to an audio version, read by James Frain. For anyone out there who has not listened to it I highly recommend it. The part of the story where Sargeant Berrigan tells about “just what kind of soldier” Ryder is, gives me chills it is so well done by the narrator. Will there be any other books with Captain Ryder Sandman? Regards, Wayne Campbell
