“The Richard Sharpe peninsular war series, by Bernard Cornwell”

Cornwell’s Nathaniel Starbuck series is excellent, especially his takes on McClellan and Stonewall Jackson. His descriptions of combat are also well done. Too bad he didn’t finish the series.

Oh, I agree fully.

But Cornwell said that he felt his Starbuck character was simply too similar to Sharpe to continue with the series.
