Hi Bernard,
I read my first Sharpe over 20 years ago and have read everything you have done since with relish. From Gallows Thief to Stonehenge and all points in between.
I am in the middle now of re-reading Hornblower (just up to The Happy Return) and I wanted to ask if Forester was an influence on your work.
He too dips in and out of different historical periods and seems to be a writer with varied interests.
