Hi, At first, I really enjoy reading the series as I first came in touch 1997/8 as the TV series was broadcasted in Germany. After then it took me 12 years to discover the Sharpe Books. Now, as I have been reading them for the last 18 months only one book is left, I will send you the flaws I have noticed. At first in the English published books by HarperCollins the chronological order is wrong. There Sharpe´s EAGLE is listed before Sharpe´s HAVOC, which is simply wrong as you know. Further as the 12 years delay led me start to read all books in the chronological order; so I started with the Indian campaign. Between them and the earlier written, but later in chronological order – Peninsula campaign – books is a huge mistake, as I understand. In Sharpe´s FORTRESS, Sergeant Hakeswill already deserted from the British troops and also in India and also was dies in a snake pit at Gawilghur. That makes in impossible that he reappears in Portugal and Spain. He died twice in the books. Third, only a tiny little issue, which is obviously caused by the later creation of Sharpe´s TRAFALGA. The memory of her first wife, Lady Grace Hale, is sometimes missing in the previous published books, when Teresa is named as he first wife, respectively Jane his second. Now looking forward to the last adventure/ book it is also foresight that there nothing after. Thanks for that great book series, which combines fiction and history and really let immerse in the stories. Christian Göritz-Vorhof
