I do agree with the author. Falco is her creation and therefore she has the right to deny people to use her material. Ther's a technical description of that right, can't find it anywhere. It's not so much copyright in that others use her lines, but her (can't find the correct wording) 'artistic creation'. Simon Scarrow not only did not bother to ask her (which I find downright rude), but he also 'altered' her creation by adding information on Falco's parents, thereby distorting her creation of the character. Also, Nr Scarrow made money from his loan, which is a big no-no in the whole copyright issue.

I remember Rosemary Sutcliff asking the publisher of one of her earlier books if she was allowed to use her own characters in a book published by another publisher...
