Mr. Cornwell
I first read your Sharpe's books after the BBC series appeared as a teenager. As I now near retirement from my own military career, in which I spent most of my time as a combat officer, I have gained a deep appreciation for your insight into human character. Were you ever in the service yourself? My son is now reading your books at my urging as he prepares for his own military career. I believe your books are the definitive works to understand the individual heroism the average soldier is capable of, and the corporate stupidity too often exhibited by their leadership.
I have also thoroughly enjoyed your Starbuck series, and was curious if you might ever continue the books through Appamatox? Thank you for your time in reading and answering my short note.
Nick
I wish I could say I served, but no - I was rejected.
Hopefully, if I live that long...
