I have been a massive fan of yours since first reading ‘The Winter King’ and have read all of your releases since. Having an interest in ancient British history myself I have really appreciated the style in which you write. The great deal of thought which you obviously put into every element of your novels and the degree of research really enables the reader to transport themself into the setting of the story. I recently found a copy of ‘Scoundrel’ and having never heard of it made the purchase. I read the cover and was a little unsure as to whether I would really enjoy it. Once again your talent shone through and I was thoroughly engrossed. Great story, great characters. A pity that Seamus died though. I have also found your books inspiring in many ways. The ‘warrior spirit’ practically drips of the pages and as a Royal Marines Commando this appeals to me greatly. I now have the enjoyable task of starting my journey through all the Sharpe series. I loved the Starbuck chronicles and am sure the smell of gunpowder and the sounds of 19th century battlefields will be brought to life soon. Thankyou Sir for sharing your amazing talent. My best regards to you for further success. Graham Lovell
