Just finished the Pale Horseman,having just finished the Last Kingdom, having just discovered your Saxon series. I could gush like the starry-eyed fan I have become, but you probably get enough of that. All I will say is this: brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. And I’m kind of ticked-off that I have to wait until 2007 for the final installment. All this from a guy who hasn’t even read any of the Sharpe books! Excelsior! Mike in Virginia
