Hello Bernard, I have read everything you have writen through the years and have loved every minute. My favorite is the worlord chronicles, which I always regard with good memories and a sense of disapointment. My reasons for this is that no continuation of the story is possible and the sad fact that Derfel was left to the mercy of Sansum for the rest of his life. Why did you do this to the poor fellow, taking advantage of his loyal and honourable personality? I would also love to see a movie of these books as they aproach this story with a tremendous gritty reality, giving a realistic example of how legends can be created from real life. I especially loved the way you tackled the issue of Merlin and magic, never at any point suggesting real magic existed but showing how a very cleaver individual could make others think it did. Thanks for the entertainment, long may it continue. What about a book showing the theorised battle against extinction between the Neandetals and the homosapiens? Vance Docherty
