Bernard, I have to say with all sincerity that you have become the 3rd of my preferred authors,alongside Tom Clancy and Frederick Forsythe. Being a truck driver here in New Zealand I get the audio books from the library and play them whilst driving, the radio stations are crap.Really enjoy Sharpe and the Saxon Stories. You do write really good and attention retaining books, look forward to reading more. Oh, by the way, listening to the books while driving does not distract my attention from said driving. Thank you so much for being part of the reason I go to work each day. Keith D Bonner.
