Dear Bernard,
I am 67 years of age and a retired Truck driver and the reason for telling you this, is that for a trucker a lot of the time is spent waiting around either loading or un- loading. Your books have accompanied me from the furthest north (Denmark) to the furthest east (Iraq) and all of Europe for many a year. I have been engrossed in all your books for as long as you have been writing them and now that I have been retired for two years I still look forward to the next novel. I read other authors books naturally but never as many times as yours. I have just completed my 3rd reading of all the Sharpe novels from Sharpe’s Tiger to Sharpe’s Devil (21 books not including Skirmish or Christmas) and they have been enthralling as the first time. Many many thanks for making my reading time so enjoyable.
