Dear Sir, I just wanted to applaud your magnificent novels. I am attaining a masters degree in modern history, so I have little time for fiction reading. I have had to have very particular tastes and your novels always make my list as well as Robert Harris and Steven Saylor’s works. I just wanted to know if you ever considered an alternate or counterfactual historical novel? Also, have you read Andrew Roberts’ dual biography of Napoleon and Wellington? I found it to be captivating reading. Thank you for your time. Greg Jones
