Hey, big fan here in Texas. Just finished Sharpe’s Sword in one day. I was wondering if you were familiar with the book The Man Who Broke Napoleon’s Codes? It’s by Mark Urban and is about Scovell. My wife got it for me a couple years back and it’s on my short list to read. I noted it in my memory when I read your author’s note. Also, I am working on a historical novel and was wondering if there are any battles you’ve written about where you haven’t visited the site, and if so, how did you do it? I ask because my novel is about the Battle of Lepanto and I don’t know when I’ll ever get around to visiting the waters off Patras. Thanks, and keep up the good work. Charles Curtis
