Hi again, Mr. Cornwell.
As I read the history of the Peninsular War, it seems that Wellesley only had one significant setback, and that was in the fall of 1812, when he had to abandon the siege of Burgos with the town untaken. I believe this is briefly referred to at the beginning of Sharpe’s Enemy. Would you see this as an appropriate setting for a future Sharpe novel? It might be interesting to see how Sharpe handles a defeat.
