Eddy Nugent and the Map of Africa tells the story of a young soldier posted to Belize and then to West Germany in the late 1980s, 'where the British Army and a few battered Land Rovers are all that stands between the might Soviet Union and world domination'.
It's a bit different from most of our other titles, as the cover suggests:
We've had a decent number of pre-orders, and these will go out before it's available officially.
It's unlikely to sell as well as Dan Brown's latest, but then it's also unlikely to be pirated; according to the New York Times, 160 fake downloads of The Lost Symbol have been doing the rounds on the net.
This is what worries me about e-readers - the lack of security.
Mind you, I'm not quite sure why anyone would want to download it, fake or real.
The Amazon reviews aren't great. In the 'one star' section, like the review from Londongirl which currently occupies first place: 'As a big fan of all his previous books, Lost Symbol was a severe let-down. It lacks the suspense, shock and tightly wound plot of all its predecessors.'
Blimey.
