   RIP Robert Low. I first read the brothers of the sands series then the border reivers series. Once I’d read the first book of each series, I had to read the rest. They were superb. I discovered that Robert was no longer with us from a book by S.J.A. Turney.
   He remembers Robert at the beginning of his book.
   My condolences to his family and friends. A top top author who will be sadly missed.
