Don't worry, Alan...there's no such thing as the wrong order. While it's often nice to keep to the chronology, any of my books can be read as a stand-alone. As to the Korea series, I currently have no plans to continue it, but never say never. Many of its pivotal characters move into the Jif Miles Vietnam series. Thanks for reading. WPG

Glad you liked the Miles series, too, Charles. Yes, there will be more of Jock and the whole Miles family in the not too distant future. My next release, though, is Book 4 in the Moon Brothers series. It should be out in a few months.

Great to hear from you, Charles!
Harsh on the Sherman? I guess your opinion of any weapons system depends on the point of view of who you've read and talked to. For a long time, I've been of the school that the Sherman succeeded due to its abundance on the battlefield and relative mechanical reliability over other weapons systems. When deployed by good tacticians, they could--and did--prevail over better armed and better protected vehicles. I agree that it was no more flammable than any other gasoline-powered tank (especially later models with water-jacketed ammo storage), but bear in mind I didn't create the nicknames for her, like "Zippo," "Ronson," and the like--her crews did.
BTW, the fourth book in the Moon Brothers series should be out in a few months. Stay tuned...and thanks for the feedback!
