New Book

Brag · 11-17-08, 10:11 AM

Hi Gang!

Shortly, I will submit my latest book to my publisher. In view of the present economic situation, most publishers have cut way down on new releases.

I will appreciate if you vote on this survey , which should indicate if this book is viable or not.

Here is the proposed blurb:

On January 5th. 1945 the U-3309 put out to sea never to be heard of again. Or so most people thought. The Gelwitz Cipher hides the mission of the world's most advanced submarine of the time and how it affects us today. Everyone who discovers the secret protected by this code is murdered.

Estimated price, US $14.95 (Trade paperback approx 350 pages)

Hi Brag

My brother and I both enjoyed Kingmaker

and will buy your new book if released.

Good Luck

I didn't vote because I still haven't read Kingmaker. I will though. Does the new book also have what's-his-name in it? The idea sounds intruiging.

bookworm_020 · 11-17-08, 08:49 PM

Sounds like a good idea for the book.

Best of luck whatever happens

Sounds an awful lot like a Clive Cussler novel.

All new characters. New countries. and as Balz would say, new depths.

Yeah Brag!

i couldnt count the number of copies of kingmaker floating around at the subsim meet.

Definitely, but just about any of them would do.

They always start with an event that happened in the past that turns out to effect the present, whether it be a bio weapon laden bomber that sinks into a mountain lake, or a train that disappears carrying an important treaty into a deep river, or a shipment of a vital mineral aboard a doomed ocean liner, the library of Alexandria spirited off by the Romans to an unknown destination, Abe Lincoln secretly kidnapped and vanishing aboard a gold laden Confederate ironclad, ships frozen in the ice, the list goes on.

Of course i love that stuff so maybe Brags new book will be good. I just hope he doesn't name his lead character "Dirk"...

I've been absent for a while now because of work difficulties, but I just had to log in to say ; Please publish this book Brag. I'm not often a fan of fiction and if the book is anywhere near as good as Kingmaker, it will provide a welcome relief from poring over Military Encyclopedias in my spare time.

I might even post a couple more reviews if it's good enough
