So maybe if you can't get Maddox Roberts in the UK, some of these are available <grin>.

I tried Wishart a while back and found the historical inaccuracies enough to put me off trying him again. This was several years back so matters may have improved since then but I have enough on the Kindle app alone to keep me busy for months.
I can get hard copies of Maddox Roberts, but not any of the SPQR ebooks (only the Hannibal's Children duology and the Dragonlance (?) he wrote). Makes me consider piracy...
