A bilingual translator needs to be employed to assure that the Spanish content will be correct! I have laughed and laughed at page 244 when he writes "Mosca encima". For those that so not speak Spanish, it means "a house fly at the top", not "fly over".

I just finished The Hadrian Memorandum - and have to tell you whoever did your editing should be shot! I have never seen so many errors in writing a book, and I have read plenty of them. Words spelled wrong, grammatical errors, missing words, duplicate words - instead of wondering what would happen next in the story line I was wondering when I would come upon another error in writing. Very disappointing. I have been a fan since your first book, and have always waited patiently for a new one to come out.

Am I crazy? If there is a way to get the video or at least the title of the movie I would appreciate getting the information. I too would love to see The Day After Tomorrow made into a film and was so very disappointed when the movie with the same title was not based on the really exciting read by Allan Folsom. I am now hooked and will need to catch up with the other books now. Thank you.

I have read it 4 times--(never happend before) The 4th time was to try and figure out why I liked it so much. I remember reading many, many years ago (1997???) that the rights to the movie had been sold -- So who has the rights and will there ever be a movie??? Thank you for writing this fabulous book. Best Regards, Cole Mulcahy Allan–

I was wondering if Folsom had a website to join or something of that nature. I really appreciate his work, and would love to know when he planned on making more books.

As a native Spanish speaker, I found that they were so outrageous and incorrect that some were downright laughable! Is there a way to write to Allan Folsom directly? I really would like to comment on these translations directly and encourage him, by all means, to consult a native Speaker before publishing.

Not a bad story but the foreign languages are so mangled. Please, Allan, get an editor who knows French and Spanish at least. I just read Machiavelli Covenant.
