Whilst I fully appreciate the financial advantages of concentrating the Sharpe books and TV series, I am a little worried that Capt. Blythe will die of old age before Maj. Starbuck has a chance to blow his brains out. I would hate to miss that!
May I also say how much I enjoy Sharpe. (Even more than I enjoyed Hornblower when I was at school). In fact ALL your books are great!
The TV series is also brilliant. What a stroke of genius to cast Sean Bean as Sharpe, Daragh O’Malley as Sgt. Harper and the amazing Pete Postlethwaite as the vile Obadiah Hakeswill. The likes of Mr Postlethwaite shall not be seen again. (The rest of the cast are also very good).
I know you write for a living but thank you for providing such excellent entertainment.
Best wishes.
Peter
