I just found out that there was another Sharpe book published last year. I loved it! Thank you for brightening up what has been a really tough time, for all of us.
I do have one complaint. I have all the books on audio and listen to them repeatedly while driving. I drive a lot so many of the through lines are fresh in my memory. My favorite is Havoc/Escape where we see Jorge Vicente go from an idealistic lawyer to a pragmatic veteran. By coincidence I was listening to Eagle the day before I read Assassin. In Eagle there’s a line after the capture of the colors about how unimaginable it was to march into Paris and recover the captured colors. I think it would have been great to have that happen in Assassin, maybe during the epilogue so as not to get in the way of the action.
I know you said not to send ideas for legal reasons, but I would like to make a request. In Rifles Sharpe has to prove his battle bona fides by commenting on his experience during the battles at Rolica and Vimeiro. I would request that this be the next book in the series. While I enjoy reading about the combined rifle and musket company doing battle (I believe Austrian light infantry of the age was also similarly composed) it would be good to read about a young Quartermaster Sharpe forcing his way into the action of a greater mostly rifles battle.
