Mr Cornwell, I have finished reading the Sharpe series in order and I must thank you for enlightening me to the savage and bloody battles fought in the peninsula. I could not stop reading about the battles and the army that fought in them. After finishing Sharpe’s Devil, I went on to read Gallows Thief and I couldn’t stop myself from finding the Sharpe references, especially when Sandman thinks back to Spain and remembers of how him and a party of his men were saved by a Greenjacket officer. Maybe in your next Sharpe novel Sharpe could rescue a captain of the 52nd (Sandman) from the French? Also are you writing anymore Sharpe novels in the future? Michael Barrett
