Speaking of McBooks Press, their newsletter arrived via email today. I assume that's where Astrodene got the tidbit about KS&S. If you don't get this newsletter, you should! Go to their website ( http://www.mcbooks.com/ ) and subscribe. The latest number features interviews with Dewey Lamdin and David Donachie. Best of all is the photo of Douglas Reeman with (as in all his dust jacket pix) a big pipe clamped in his jaw. (A billiard blast, I'd guess a Dunhill.) The brotherhood of briar lives!

This novel (due out in March 2010) is listed on Amazon for pre-order although no cover picture or description so not added to the site yet.

The description for this book is now available so it has been added to the website

This sixteenth adventure of Alan "Ram-Cat" Lewrie begins & ends at sea, but most of the action takes place on land. The cessation of war following the Peace of Amiens results in Lewrie journeying to Paris where folderal and mayhem ensue. So it is not surprising that he encounters characters from prior adventures - - Phoebe Aretino, Charite de Guilleri, Guillame Choundas, and the Coriscan Ogre himself.

While this adventure resolves some issues in Lewrie's personal life, it of course creates others. I can't wait for the next installment by author Dewey Lambdin!

The paperback version will be released on 4 January 2011. More info on the web site here
