Dear Bernard I must disagree with the guy named Pat who advised you to slow down! I’ve been reading your books for the last 26 years plus and just finished “The Fort” today which was another brilliant production on your part. Trouble is I now have an anxious wait until your next new publication and if you slowed down I’d be in a right pickle! Thanks for so many years of great entertainment and for opening up the past so vividly. You are, in my opinion the single best writer of historical fiction out there today. Can’t wait for whatever is coming next. Regards Peter Wright Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England. UK
