"William Boyd is seventy four (this in 2026). I reckon he could knock out Gabriel Dax at the rate of one a year for the next twenty years. This is the third instalment of a declared ‘trilogy’. Why stop there? On Goodreads Gabriel’s Moon is his third "

Thanks, Magenta. I noticed that you'd 'liked' a couple of my reviews and thought we should be friends. We don't have any books in common yet! I still find it difficult to navigate this site so I'm having trouble finding your reviews. Could you send me a link so I can cut the scrabbling around!
