The market analysis was that by 1990, one or two hundred thousand persons would have served in N.I ! and that there was a market (not estimated as 'large' - think mills and boon) for novels for those who could read and say

yeah, I did that !

Rick Jolly wrote two - one was erm, For Valour - evry fule kno that is written on a VC
and I can't remember the other.
