Greetings, I have just finished ‘The Warlord Chronicle’ and felt the urge to write you this letter of warm compliments. These three books were wonderfully written and I couldn’t let go of them, the tale captures the reader and takes his mind away from his daily-life and puts him in the mysterious Anglo-Saxon England. Though I am from far-away Israel, I like the northern-Europe and England’s History and Mythology very much (probably Tolkien’s influence) and read many Arthurian legends of many versions but I never felt such a great deep feeling of truth in them till I have read your books, meaning that if indeed there was an Arthur, he was as you wrote he was, for you described the ways of life and culture of these days brilliantly and no doubt made a serious research on the subject, and many may learn much of it from your books. Another issue I must write about is your knowledge of warfare; I’m also a great fan of war-history of the medieval age and the Roman period, and read much of this matter, and your battles telling are amazing! I felt as I was in the Shield-wall myself facing the horror of war, and these battles are also written in a way that it is comfortable to understand the battle development through the fighting. When a story emotionally moves me so I can write much about it, so I hope that this letter filled this purpose, for truly you deserve these compliments and probably got many more of this kind. I’m myself am twenty years old and serve in the Israeli army in these days (though not as a combat-soldier in Gaza because of an annoying medical problem) and dream of a long trip in Britain after the end of my service (in eight months) and your books also certainly encouraged me to walk the beautiful views of this land and explore her history. And be sure that I will read more books of yours… :) May the stars shine upon your path ! Tal Katz
