Thank you for your great questions, Andrew. Thanks also to all that participated...especially little Oliver who is recovering from his trauma. I really enjoy the books we read together.

>9 EadieB: - He tore his ACL. This is his fourth leg operation over the past few years. Two knees and now two cruciates. He's lucky he was adopted by two old softies.

>12 ColinMichaelFelix: No, I've not come across any of Du Brul's own work. My local library definitely has none of his books.

>12 ColinMichaelFelix: I've read the first 3 in the Phillip Mercer series and I agree that they are very good.

>12 ColinMichaelFelix: My library doesn't have any either but I ordered the first in the series from paperbackswap.com:

Vulcan's Forge (Philip Mercer, Bk 1)
Author: Jack DuBrul

>13 EadieB: As you mention Boyd Morrison, his books The Ark and The Vault also make for enjoyable and thought-provoking reading. >15 Carol420: Yes the Phillip Mercer series are so good. Those who haven't tried him as yet do well to look him up

>17 ColinMichaelFelix: I'm in the same situation as Sergei, my library doesn't have any of the books by Jack Du Brul but will be seeing if I can suggest they buy Vulcan's Forge.

I have to agree with you re Boyd Morrison. Have read and loved The Ark, although called The Noah's Ark Quest in the U.K., and The Tsunami Countdown although called Rogue Wave elsewhere - this one is a standalone and was a cracking read! I do want to continue with the Tyler Locke Series. I can't wait to get to book 10 of the Oregon Files Series which are co-written by Boyd Morrison.

>18 Andrew-theQM: I forget you're in the U.K. The Vault which is the 2nd in the Tyler Locke series is called The Midas Code over there.
