Finally tracked down “Coat of Arms”, and what a find it was. Brilliant read – Monty is a classic Cornwell lovable rogue, and the plot is worthy of the great Dumas. Enjoyed it immensely, although I would have like to see Christine De Conroy get a proper comeuppance from David! Any particular reason it’s not recognised as part of the official Cornwell canon? I do of course realise it was written under a different name, but I imagine you have a huge number of fans out there who have never heard of it and who would enjoy it every bit as much as I. And on another note – pleeeeeeeeeeeeease finish Starbuck :)
