What connects so many different people from peace corp. personnel to soldiers to office clerks to action adventure types to your work. I have truly enjoyed every thing I have read of yours. The SAXON tales are my personal favorites. My second most preferred author is James Clavelle, and Taipan is my favorite. I have a touchy subject that I completely understand if you do not wish to respond to. What are you political and world views. Since I ask you I can say I mostly agree with Chomsky. Thanks for all the great reads. Daric Parks
