Have just finished reading Azincourt and though I thoroughly enjoyed the book and the way in which you have achieved the presentation of a very good story with the actual historical events I was slightly dis-appointed in that many of the characteristics of the main character – Nicolas – are similar to those of Thomas Hookton (Grail series, who also gets a mention in the narrative anyway). I appreciate that both were of the same background in that they were archers who in effect hired out their skills, however the similarity of these main, and some of the subsidiary, characters in Azincourt and the Grail series, detracted from the narrative that you have presented. Notwithstanding the above, I did however thoroughly enjoy the novel, and like your many others found it difficult to lay down until such time as I had completed it. No doubt I will pick it up again in about a month and re-read. I look forward to reading your next story, though I would hope it be from the Saxon Stories as the storylines and characters carry a sense of credibility for that period of English (Dark Ages) violent period. Again thank you for the novels to date – keep them coming. John Hillary
