Mr Cornwell, Just to say thankyou for your great books, I am now trying to finish the Sharpe series before The White Horse comes out and am currently upto Company. Now for the questions: 1. What was the highest commisioned rank that a man from the ranks ever achieved? Did any ever get to Lieutenant-Colonel? 2. Has the title of your upcoming book anything to do with the valley of the White Horse where Uthers son Mordred died in the Winter King? 3. While looking up your books on a website, it said you wrote ‘The Snarl of the Beast’ in 1992, what is this book and is it still in print? 4. Do you know any good historical fiction sites that list any novels set during the American Revolution (or do you know any yourself?) Thanks again, Lewis
