Thanks to all of you for your kind words. I'm glad you have enjoyed reading EAGLE as much as I enjoyed writing it. I feel privileged each and every day to be able to write for a living. I have an official release date for KINGDOM: 19 July 2012. It's a bit of a wait, I know, but on the bright side, the wait for HOLY WAR, the final book in the trilogy, should be much shorter. I hope to have it out in March 2013. And finally, regarding Humphrey's ARMAGEDDON… I have not read the book, but from what I can tell, it seems to be focused very tightly on the siege itself. My book, SIEGE, begins in 1448 and the first half deals with the events leading up to the siege, so that might interest you. I suspect my book also deals with the Turkish side of the conflict more than Humphrey's. Naturally, I think you should read my book as well, but maybe after a wait. Reading two books about the fall of Constantinople in one year seems a bit much.
