I bought your book almost a month ago and I could not put it down. The way you described your missions, your feelings and the general atmosphere of the base is flawless. I was wondering if you ever considered translated "War for the Hell of It" to Spanish? I think it could really reach a higher audience. Congratulations for this book, I am on my way to buy "The Pilot" now.

Gabo,
Thanks for the kind words, I hope you enjoyed The Pilot. How about posting reviews of the books on Amazon? As for translation, literary translation is very expensive as the translator has to replicate not just them words, but the style and tone. I doubt I would sell enough books in Spanish to justify the cost of translation. Same for The Pilot which would have a market in France.

I downloaded your "War For the Hell of It" a couple of days ago and raced through it - then I thought that name rings a bell from the past. I remember you being the US exchange pilot on the Jaguar force at Lossie in the mid/late 70s? My wife Claudie & I live in Bayonne (SW France) - a beautiful area heavy with reminders of Hemingway. Not enough space here to expand. Your book was a great read.. Geoff
