    I think HH made it clear enough that the answer would be the one he was thinking of rather than the more common interpretation - which Termite was the first to get.

    Anyway - the next question is either the interloping question from Driver or we are waiting for Grunt as he got my DeLorean one right.

    Darren, you are correct and fast.

    ”Most sources believe that the fastest species of fish is the
    Indo-Pacific Sailfish Istiophorus platypterus. It has been clocked in
    excess of 110 km/h (68 mph) over short periods.”

    Very much so. Where was the more common interpretation of the Holy Grail from, the Bible?

    SC, The theory is mentioned in the book, if you're not going to read it I'm happy to PM you a fuller explanation? Not sure it will really spoil the book anyway...

    Always look on the bright side...

    I think Silent should read the book. Remembering Silent's book choices from a separate thread - I think he would like it. It's a good blend of thriller with a heavy science/historical thread rather like Longitude/Surgeon of Crowthorne etc. And I really think it would spoil the book to know what the answer to your question is.

    I probably will read it. It's OK, I just like a good argument - in case you haven't noticed
