Bernard, As a frequent reader of historical fiction, thank you for the historical notes section at the end of most of your books, it allows me to separate the historical facts vs. the storyline fiction that moves the plot along. I have thoroughly enjoyed your Grail Quest, the Warlord Trilogy, and of course Sharpe. I have yet to figure out what happened to the Tippos jewels that Sharpe had at the end of Indian campaign, I guess I need to read Trafalgar and Prey. I am looking forward to getting started with the Saxon stories. I give thanks to the US Immigrations official who denied your Green Card request every time I finish one of your books. Regards, Jeff
