Hi,

The active writing team consists of (at present),

Me (main story line and timeline plus technical/political oversight)
Chewie (Land of the Brave)
Lord Herrick (Cup for Alexander and future Babylonian era stories)
Jan Niemczyk (Sceptered Isle)
Shane Rogers (Saigon plus a LOT of historical and background data)

Mark and the Countess are both running stories but they haven't moved in some time.

If everything goes according to plan (and the publisher - confidential at the moment until the final agreements are signed - fulfills his commitments) it should be up on Amazon by the end of November. Anvil of Necessity (cover art at the moment is a saw-backed bayonet stuck through a Rising Sun flag) will be out in January 2007.

If you can't get hold of a copy, let me know and we'll sort something out

Thank you for the information, I'll be following this, as it'd be a very nice thing to get for the new year.

Congratulations on getting yourself published, Stuart; I hope it goes well for you. How many pages do your stories come out to in the paperback format?

I WANT THIS BOOK! Any idea on price?

I'd like to suggest a copyedit of the back cover.

June6, 1947. Europe is being torn apart by a war no one can win. German troops occupy every territory from the Pyrenees to the Volga. In the east, Russian and American troops fight to stop the German advance. In the west, American carriers rule the Atlantic, hurling their midnight-blue fighter-bombers any and all targets they find.

America has one weapon left. One last card to play.

A fleet of the largest bombers the world has ever seen, the atomic weapons to arm them, and a plan to blast Germany out of the war with a single terrible blow,

In a world gone to Hell, the only option left

The Big One
