Yeah, but historically inacurate... Wallace and Bruce never met in real life and Rob Roy was a criminal and spied for the English!! al

What a great king, managed to get all of Scotland excommunicated because he stabbed his opponent to death in the back as he knelt in prayer in Church! LOL! Scottish history is about as bloody as it gets! Al

And while the more rabidly nationalist propaganda would have you believe all that blood was shed between Scots and "the bastard English", this conveniently overlooks the fact that the Scots were always capable of merrily butchering each other in such activities as inter-clan warfare without any involvement from their neighbours.

Yeah, most people forget there where more Scots fighting for the Brits than English during the Jacobite uprisings! More of a Scottish civil war than Scottish uprising. Al

Thank u all. I'm not really a new member of project aon. I have been registered on a project aon mailing list some year ago (i think it's between 1999 and 2000). Now i return to the site since i have completed the lone wolf collection (all 28 books but in French) and i go often here to look at the errata (and on another French lone wolf site because translator like to make some other mistake which are not on the original version) Hey, the book 28 was actually translated in French ? I don't remember ever seeing it.

Yep, its French title is "La Cité de l'Empereur" (The Emperor's City). The cover has a soldier with a spear and the back cover is yellow.

Yeah, me too. Ugly. The old white-border one, with the letters in nice font rather than "showy glittering big blob letters", and the little symbol of the serie in the bottom, looked infinitely more classy.

I did spend a year in New Zealand (so it's still Oceania) so no change to my vote anyway...in fact the only time the various island nations of the Pacific are important is during the Rugby World Cup (Union not League) because they are genuinely competitive with any nation when they go onto the rugby field ( that and netball for the girls). and netball would be what? [Edit - fixed the quote. / Thomas]

The only time anyone realises anything happens in Oceania. ( Sport rules all, doesn't it )... And I know Australia just lost the Ashes series, the real question is can you keep them...good luck
