hi folks has anyone here read any of his books, if so which ones?
And, wait for it, any one (pref in U.K.) selling any?
I am reading Fate is the hunter at the moment, which is an excellent book,
the author seems to effortlessly draw the reader into not only the cokpit,
but into how he feels and what he's going through, brilliant!
My dad promised me the book, knowing he was about to pass away soon (he
passed away nearly 2yrs ago), he did actually try to buy it for me when he
was still around but it was out of print and circulation at the time, and
because he couldnt find his own copy, but when we were doing the house
clearing we found it, i also found another of his "flying circus" which i
intend to read after.
I was just wondering if anyone else out there can recommend any others of
his books and where i can find it.
