Thats outstanding! thank you very much Otto! These are THE best series of books I have ever read. Other great series to do with what this forum is about are: Casca, By: Barry Sadler and The Black Eagles, By: John Lansing. Each series has at least 23 books in them and almost all are excellent--unfortunately they are all fiction--especially Casca. The writing is so well done, that once you get into one of these books-you dont want to put it down. I useed to tick myself off sometimes because I would buy a new one and by the time I gave it a rest, I would be almost finished. I now force myself to quit after no more than 1-2 chapters a day.
