IMO he is at best with his fantasy.
Connavar,
Thanks. I'll see what I can find. I do like historical fiction. I'm reading John Jakes' Kent Family Chronicles in tandem with Lee Singer's Blackjack (sf). My speaking gig is in a bookstore tomorrow. Maybe they'll have some of his stuff by now. They only have used stuff so it's hit and miss. They had nothing by him last time. I can check the library on Monday failing that.
