I would like to congratulate you on the excellent Grail Quest series that I have just read, which was absolutely brilliant. Although I read Heretic first as it was a Christmas present as soon as I had finished I rushed out to buy the other two in the series. I was very relieved to see Thomas of Hookton live to see another day at the end of Heretic and the whole series made me very proud and also very ashamed to be English, but as you say in the books this is how it was for all countries who were involved in warfare. I will now be going to buy the Arthur series and hopefully this will be just as entertaining and again make proud to be English like the brave English Archers and knights in the battle of Crecy. Thank you Bernard for some truly excellent novels and maybe one day you be kind enough to write another adventure with Thomas of Hookton. Alan Ralph
