Hello, Firstly can I say that I thoroughly enjoyed the Grail quest trilogy. I did have one query which concerned the Black Death towards the end of Heretic. It is my understanding that the form of plague described in your book is actually Pneumonic and not Bubonic plague which you mention in your historical notes. I’m aware that Bubonic is historically the correct path to use as this did indeed kill off 33% of the European populous. With Pneumonic plague, the first signs of illness are fever, headache, weakness, and rapidly developing pneumonia with shortness of breath, chest pain, cough, and sometimes bloody or watery sputum. These are almost the same symptoms as described in your book. However it is true that Bubonic can turn into Pneumonic if left untreated. As Bubonic can only be caught predominantly by fleabites or by untreated wounds coming into contact with the disease I personally can’t see that the plague referred to in Heretic was anything other than Pneumonic. I will be interested to hear your views on this. Best regards, Simon McCartan
