I rate Wilbur Smith very highly - although that ancient Egyptian stuff in one of his more recent novels was heavy going....
Wouldn't wipe my backside on The Economist though - but I'll go along with Aeroplane Monthly and Nat Geo!
Vulcan 607 wasn't bad - if a bit simplistic for aficionados. But it told the tale very well to the unwashed genpub - and
gas users with the retention span of a goldfish with Alzheimer's....
