I recently began reading the Sharpe series in chronological order and am currently enjoying ‘Sharpe’s regiment’. First my congratulations on a wonderfully satisfying series. As a Christian I have to love / forgive my enemies until judgement day but in fantasy enjoy the instant, usually well deserved punishment the soldier pro exacts. I decided to buy the dvd series and note the ‘Hong Kong’ pirates have been busy copying them. What do you think about that? Thanks for hours of reading enjoyment … Tony
