As Jordan said, he was extremely popular. Note I said I hope that's the case, not that I'm confident it will be. And I'm happy to see his name preserved, even if some books won't fit his mold.

Good for you staying positive, Bill. I was there with you the first post, but now that they've gone and changed the focus of the award I just can't. Without the distinction of 'heroic' and 'Gemmell-like' it's not a new award - so we don't need it. Sorry, sounds harsh I know, but it's now the way I feel. See I’m a day behind, as usual.
