Just bought Great North Road by Peter F. Hamilton and ordered The Rift Coda by Amy S. Foster which arrives on February 6th.

Saw a new Cixin Liu book called To Hold Up the Sky that costs $37.99, I'll wait for the cheaper paperback to come out next year. I'm hoping eventually his novella The Wandering Earth comes out.

Unfortunately The James Lovegrove Collection Vol. 1 seems to be out of stock.

Won't be ordering any books in February. After I'm back from my vacation I'll order some.

On page 80 of A Plague of Giants and brought back The Complete Double Dead by Chuck Wendig. I remember this book being an interesting take on the Vampire genre, the vampire main character would deplete his blood reserves depending on the amount of exertion he does. It's also interesting that his vampire blood was used to create the zombie apocalypse, I don't think I've read a book with that take before. Sad that he couldn't contain his tweeting and got fired from Star Wars though.

Big news I can finally reveal: THE PERSONA PROTOCOL has been optioned by Universal for a TV series! It's too soon to say if it'll go into production, but fingers crossed...

As I answered...this is one of the future tales revolving around Jason and the Argonauts...

Good news for fans of these thriller authors like myself. Only one week till my two book orders arrive for pickup, hopefully.

I am offering a chance of a life time for an aspiring screenplay writer....part one and two in one hour and forty minutes per part of a mini series based on EVENT...this work will be submitted to Producers who have requested the spec script...please private message any response...DLG

Yes, the Event Group had the audacity to declare human civilization began seven to ten thousand years before the standard belief of eight to ten thousand years...we are actually in the second civilization of man...the great flood ended the first era of man...the Greek civilization (the theory of Atlantis, gods and Titans, Jason, Hercules, etc.) was actually the first stanza of man and in later years Hercules, Jason of Thessaly and others became just a myth and legend with seven thousand years separating the two ages of man...

this statement is in answer to a readers question regarding why I didn’t depict the great flood in biblical terms...history folks, just historic theory...DLG


Interesting, I guess he still wants only a certain director to come out of retirement but he's fine with anyone for the writer of the Event Group movie. Andy just posted another confirmation that he's writing two more books for Headline. Both authors have their own dedicated spot on my bookcase.
