Has everybody managed to read Sharpe’s Christmas ? I seem to remember it wasn’t on general release but a very good story.

I'd give it a few months and then take another look at the Amazon price on Sharpe - I'd wager a shilling it's halved by Christmas.

Here’s the thing though; on HMS Renown, did mad Captain Sawyer fall or was he pushed?

Flashman was the bully in Tom Brown’s School Days but a different author (George Macdonald Fraser) took the character and wrote a whole series of books about him in different military conflicts through history. Really good books.
