Dear Bernard
From an earlier question about you being approached by other authors to write a Sharpe or Starbuck story.
I am sure you will be aware that “Sharpe” has made a number of appearances in other author’s books
“A tall rifles officer, called Richard, carrying a rifle like a ranker” from the Fields of Death by Simon Scarrow
Arthur Wellesley musing on the field commission given to a sergeant Sharpe following the battle of Assaye in a Doctor Who story called Worlds End
Best wishes
