In the end, my biggest regret is that I didn't come to them sooner. My father was a huge fan and it would have been great to have shared them with him -- but I couldn't see myself enjoying the naval setting which was of particular appeal to him having done his mandatory service in the Coast Guard.

Thanks.

I'll definitely try it, once I finish my current series (a trilogy, so shouldn't take long).
