My upcoming novel “Survivors: A Novel of the Coming Collapse” (a sequel that is contemporaneous to the action in “Patriots” ) is now past the Second Galley milestone, and soon will be readied for printing pre-release review copies. The new cover is nearly finished, and it looks stunning. The novel is being published by Atria Books, a division of Simon & Schuster. Please delay ordering your copy of “Survivors: A Novel of the Coming Collapse” until October 4th. By concentrating all of the orders on just the release day (also the designated “Book Bomb Day”), we hope to help propel the book into Amazon’s Top 100. Thanks!
