Note: I did not use more than a fraction of the material listed here, and this is also a partial bibliography for my earlier uses of the Henry Sinclair legend (Face Down Across the Western Sea, Lethal Legend, and Firebrand, all written under the name Kathy Lynn Emerson). Most of the books listed here are available in the U.S. through inter-library-loans. Ask your local librarian.
