hello Mr Cornwell. I have been reading your books and I love the Sharpe ones the best. I have also read two of the grail quest books, and I have found some similarities between them, such as the both raise up the ranks from humble backgrounds, and I was just wondering if you intended this. Also, I’m sorry if this is too personal and I will totally understand, but I was wondering if you ever put your own views and opinions in your books. Thank you for taking the time to read and answer my questions. Chris
