Yes Jyrki, it is my book. Smile

Its not my first by any means, its my fifth, but it is definately the book I have enjoyed writing the most. If any of that comes across then I will be happy!

I'll happily provide URLs from Amazon here, though as you can see all are now OOP. Luckily there is a thriving second-hand trade on the internet. I see Atomic Horror is selling for £47, brand new it retailed for around £15!

Warrior Cults

Brotherhoods of Fear

Vietnam: Conflict & Controversy

Assassin!

Atomic Horror - Roleplaying Game for GURPS

If you discount Atomic Horror, you might see a trend, particularly toward one of my favourite subjects - that of mysterious cults, secret societies and sinister organisations. Although my interests are now centrered on the daily life of ancient soldiers in peace and war.

I blame HP Lovecraft. I read too much Lovercraftian horror when I was a teenager.

Robert, could you clarify (2), I don't quite understand you. :?:

I wondered why, when I joined Comitatus, I had to roll up one trouser leg, recite the Bible backwards and wear a green hat!
