Bernard hello, a question for you regarding what you enjoy reading? I have heard you mention Wallace Bream, who I have read and enjoyed but as for contemporay writers, especially those who write in a similar vain, who do you enjoy reading? I have seen your name ascribed to quotes for both Simon Scarrow and Conn Iggulden, are these your words and who else appeals to you? Anyway keep writing, you’re still the general in your field.
