Bernard, hello. Thank you for providing a series of such well researched tales. I am a collector of militaria and a some-time student of military history. Sharpe’s Eagle was the first of all your books I bought and, I believe, I have the whole series. I also have the Holy Grail series and some of the Arthur/Saxon stories and most of ACW series. I don’t know how long after the rest of the world gets your books before they are released in Australia, but if it’s good enough for Europe/USA to get them at the same time [or there-abouts], then we should do too [see Harry Potter]!! Anyway, as we [used to]say down here “Ripper Rita!!!!” Regards, Seamus Neeson.
