Dear Mr. Cornwell. In a November 1 posting, Bob Burke asked about novels of Irish heroes and battles. I strongly recommend the novel “Hound” by George Green. It is the fictionalized story of the life of the great Irish hero Cuchullain. It is Green’s first novel, but he shows great potential, and has I think, taken a page from you in his ability to write vivid and gory battles. Alan Kempner
