Dear Bernard,

I’m supposed to be writing a thesis on the the changing face of warfare as influenced by Australian experiences in Afghanistan with IED’s (I’m a returned RAAF officer from No 92 Air Wing  -A3PC Orions).  Then my 19 yr old son hands me The Pagan Lord, saying “Mum you need to read something different”
WOW!
Find me a TARDIS and send me back to fight with Uhtred and Finan! Wow!  Stephen Reily’s new book can wait – I’m re-reading The Pagan Lord again.
One question:  what does “wyrd bio ful araed” mean?
Warmest Regards,
Rhi O’Geraghty
