Dear Mr. Cornwell!
Firstly, let me thank you for your fantastic books! I read a lot of authors since I was little but you are the first of whom I read every book (though I still have to read “A crowning mercy, but it is already ordered), I do love your writing style and how your characters are bound to history and not to “Zeitgeist”.
To me question: Being german, I very much liked that you featured the KGL in your Sharpe novels. Though I’m very well read into Napoleonic history, and that from a german point of view, I actually never heard of them before. That was astonishing to me, as I read dozens of german books on the coalition wars and never even saw a footnote on the KGL.
So, if you ever have the time to write a stand alone novel between your series, will you write one where the main character is from the KGL? There is no novel that concentrates on the KGL, I looked everywhere!
Looking forward to seeing Uthred again,
sincerely yours,
Robert Senkowsky
