Dear Mr. Cornwell, My whole extended family is eagerly awaiting the next Sharpe book. I believe I read that the next book would be out in late 2005 or in 2006. Now I read it will not be out until 2007. Are we talking about the same book or am I confused? Do hope it will be soon as some of us are in advanced years and can’t wait too long! You may be amused to know that some of the expressions and exploits from Sharpe have become part of our family language and allusions. Sincerely, Roberta Parker
