message: I wonder if "Sharpe's Company is the thirteenth historical novel in the Richard Sharpe series by Bernard Cornwell, first published in 1982" is the best way to open as it is, no doubt unintentionally, slightly misleading. While in chronological order in terms of setting, it is indeed the thirteenth Sharpe novel, but it was the third to be published, and in 1982 there was no way of knowing that a number of books would later be added to the Sharpe series set earlier in Sharpe's career. Equally it has only been the thirteenth in the sequence since Sharpe's Fury was published in 2006 and now that Bernard Cornwell has resumed the series (albeit with a book set later in Sharpe's life), there is no guarantee that an earlier-set novel might not yet appear. That however is a more minor concern than the publication order. I therefore wonder if it would be better to say "Sharpe's Company is a historical novel in the Richard Sharpe series by Bernard Cornwell, first published in 1982. The third novel in the Sharpe series to be published, it is chronologically the thirteenth in the series". I would appreciate thoughts on this. Dunarc (talk) 22:48, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I have reworded the opening for the reasons above - it also fits in with the opening of the Sharpe's Gold article. Dunarc (talk) 20:54, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
