Hi Samuel. First let me thank you for the amazing review. Few people would take the time and trouble to do that for a book. It's not only a thorough report for people yet to read the book, but also good feedback for the author!
When I created Saif, I knew the qualities I wanted him to have. I wanted him to be totally committed to his cause, ready to commit any atrocity no matter how repulsive, but I also wanted him to have his own set of ethics.
I had quite a strong image in my head of what he was like when I started Rotten Gods, and to me he was a very strong character in that book, despite a relatively minor role. When I started Savage Tide he was well and truly ready to start flexing his muscles.
In short, I am fascinated with the motivations of people like Saif al-Din and presenting them on the page is a challenge that I enjoy. Stand by for the next book, set mainly in Australia and partly USA, hopefully next year, working title is, Time of Thunder.
You've put so much work into this review, I'll post it up on my Facebook page if you don't mind. Negatives and all it's still a great review and there's a big price drop promo happening with the ebook version of that book at the moment.
Cheers and thanks
Greg

Hello again Greg. It's been awhile. I've been looking to get Lethal Sky, but I've run into a problem. You see, with UK/International releases, what usually comes first is a 20 something cm long large copy and then a year later the 17/19 cm smaller copy. I was hoping that there was a smaller copy version of Lethal sky available, but it seems only the large size is only on sale. Is that the case?
