Hi Bernard, Why is it that your publishers think an audio book should be in an abridged format? Having read both The Last Kingdom and The Pale Horseman and both read and listened to most of the Sharpe novels and the Arthur Trilogy I had to get the audio versions of the Saxon Books. I found a well priced version from The Audio Collection of The Last Kingdom, complete and unabridged, but can I find an Unabridged version of The Pale Horseman? No! I contacted Harper Collins and found they have no plans to release the full story as an audio book. Sacriledge! If one title can be released in its entirety, why can’t they all? Would you have any influence on such matters? Andrew Moore
