I suppose I’m a late reader. You have a lot of skill and I’ve enjoyed many of your series and some of your single books (i haven’t read them all.) I have to say though: I love Sharpe, I love the Arthur series, I particularly love the Saxon series (my introduction to you) but my favourite is the Starbuck Chronicles. I find that odd actually, as I’m not a civil war fan and not a big fan of gunfire stories in general. I realize you hear from a lot of your readers but I’d like to tell you that though I appreciate most of your work for some reason the Starbuck series feels like genius and it’s not the same as the Sharpe stories. Enough said. I doubt you’ll read this but for some reason I felt the need to share with you. I have not done this before. Allow me to reiterate please, Starbuck is not Sharpe. I don’t know why. He’s just not, he’s captured my imagination. Maybe it’s my Army training, maybe I’m just a dumbass. Who knows? In any event, I appreciate your writings. Chris
