I read and enjoyed 'Refuge' and came back here looking for more offerings from Richard Herley. I've now read 'The Penal Colony' (in just 2 sittings). These 2 books stand alone.

I found both books had a similar theme - a man on his own, doing the best he can in situations not of his choosing, finding unexpected strength and forced to make difficult decisions.

The correct order to read The Pagans trilogy is 'The Stone Arrow', 'The Flint Lord', then 'The Earth Goddess'.

Thanks for making your books available to us as ebooks, Richard!
