To the poster who asked about a book set during the siege of Malta I can highly recommend The Sword and the Scimitar by David Ball a truly excellent book worth a read.

To Bernard, you mentioned in a previous post about the possibility of getting Sharpe to Barrossa – will he be with the attack that nabs the Eagle or with Brownes attack up the hill??? And have you ever thought of puttting Sharpe with Murrays eastern campaign at Castalla and Tarragona against Suchet??? Also have you ever considered writing about Edward 1st campaigns like the Evesham campaign/conquest of Wales or against William Wallace at Falkirk (The statue of him in Scotland is Mel Gibson and I do not make that up). And a final question in Sharpes Devil Cochrane is a man portrayed as looking for a Napoleon type figure. The question is did he ever meet Simon Bolivar???? Geraint
