Hello Jack. I used to read a lot of books, but was a bit in a reading dip lately. By accident I stumbled on part 2 of the Saladin trilogy in my local library. The cover of book raised my interest and some time later I got my hands on the first book. In just a few days I've read already half of the book, and I'm totally hooked. I'm so glad this is a trilogy and not just one book. My interest in Saladin was first raised by the film Kingdom of Heaven and am looking forward finding out more about this remarkable historic figure. Thanks a lot for being such an awesome writer!
