Thanks for your kind comments everyone. I'm now awaiting the release of Imperial Assassin with great interest. I've just finished the second edit and am about to send it out to proof readers for comment - given the editor's initial response I don't think I need worry too much about people enjoying the sequel. It won't match everyone's taste, of course, but I'm very confident that people will find some fascination in certain areas of the next story.
