Absolutely love the books – especially the Sharpe series and the Grail Quest. I’ve started the Last Kingdom and it’s damn good, so congrats on pulling off another splendid read! What happens to major Dulong in Sharpe’s Havoc? I know you said he disappears from the historical records, but have you found out anything since? I see from your FAQs that lots of people want a English civil war series, but its not high on your list – shame, because I’m studying the period at school and nothing I read can bring it alive in the way that your books do! Also, I’m really tired of reading wishy-washy historical novels that disguise the reality of warfare, so I love the battle scenes! thanks again for many great reads, especially Sharpe! Andrew Sinclair
