I just listened to the Curse of Chalion three successive times. Must be my age and lack of health, but I found him and his story to be profound. In these times where honor and truth seem so passé. I loved how he turned away from seeking glory and found such reverence for kindness. I dare not hope, but if your wonderful genius meets another such character, it would be a great gift. What do you think?

I'm glad you are enjoying my work!
Well, no two characters can or even should be alike, so I can't promise you another Caz. If you haven't tried the Penric novellas yet, they might work for you as well, if differently, as Penric starts out as a much more callow youth, who is not even now as old as Caz was when his story began. (Start with the e-novella "Penric's Demon" or the Baen collection Penric's Progress.)

Rereading the series. Again. Hunting around the internet looking at publishing dates vs. story chronology I found reference took a book called Test of Honor. No summary in anything I can find. Is this an old title for a book that was named something else late?

Did you come up with the line "I'll trade you one Mark for the Commodore's 18 million" before or after you named the character himself? It's always been one of my favourite lines in the series because of the coincidence & brilliance needed for it to work, so I've always wondered how much of a coincidence it really was. Either way, thank you for writing books with such awesome & quotable lines!
