Dear Mr. Cornwell:
I have often heard that your Sharpe series is “Hornblower on land.” If this is true, is there any possibility that Col. Sharpe might ascend just a bit higher as Hornblower did when he became the 1st Baron Hornblower? While a peerage title might be too grand a prize even for Richard Sharpe, is there any chance he might one day receive a knighthood or some foreign order?
Obviously I am a big fan of your work and thank you for enriching my life with your tales of Richard Sharpe.
Best regards,
Patrick W. Phillips
