Karen Traviss emailed me with the sad news that the truly exceptional historian, Richard Holmes, has passed away. His book, Redcoat: The British Soldier in the Age of Horse and Musket, served as a key resource for me while writing the Iron Elves. I feel fortunate to have known him through his writing.

the other covers look fairly similar and they are very eyecatching indeed 😀 actually (after looking at the other books in my shelf) the only thing that changes is the colour 😉
Though I have to admit that this one will probably be my favourite as green is my favourite colour 😀
