Debbie does Doomsday
I'm working on a review of Richard Golden's novel Depth of Revenge (by that, I mean I read the book and need to get started)...in the meantime, I thought I would share something I found with you:

Within 2 days of Rosenbaum's article, the Amazon ranking for Depth of Revenge shot up as high as number 2600 and number 7 on the war fiction list.

Gotta admit, I'm a Doomsday porn-junkie *holds up hands*
Got The Day After, Threads and Jericho on the shelf and several Cold War gone hot novels upstairs on the bookshelves. Interesting to see it making a resurgance, indicative of the times of uncertainty we live in following the 9/11 bursting of the comfortable little bubble we put around ourselves after watching the Berlin wall come down. Good article, thanks Neal |

Appreciate that, Oberon. It is a good book, one that may one day be considered as prescient, I'm afraid.
I've asked the author to post here if any readers have questions. Neal

I'm nearly finished with Depth of Revenge -- excellent story! Thanks for pointing us to it, Neal.
Next on my 'to read' stack is Larry Bond's new novel Cold Choices. USS Seawolf in the Barents Sea, gotta love it! Last edited by Bill Nichols; 05-22-09 at 06:33 AM. |
