Hi, I have just finished, at 5am in the UK, The Fort while waiting to watch the quarter final in the Rugby World Cup! I SO enjoyed the book. The Historical Note at the end was fascinating. Never twigged the John Moore was THAT John Moore. And you are so right, JM does deserve more literature, even a novel! Now off to research Castine etc. and one day I hope to get there. I have cousins in Maine so I may well make the trip. Thanks again for keeping me awake! You are a damned fine writer. Regards Craig
