I'm really glad he's still in with the big boys writing Spy novels. What excitement to be working on a Tom Clancy project!

It's wonderful news. I hope he does continue to do these books then, even with the reason given as to the pseudonym. It definitely sounds like quite a book too. "If you liked my Bond..."
 Very glad to see more books from him, I'll be checking this one out.   ~ Nobody Knows Me Like You Know Me ~ 'People Look Up. Things Fall Down. And When It Rains, It Pours' Moving at the speed of life, we are bound to collide with each other ♦ ♦ ♦ Are You Ready To Go? ♦ ♦ ♦ |

What really excites me is this book is largely set in the Middle East – some of it even in Iraq. I always wanted Raymond to set a Bond novel in the Middle East...now we (sort of) have that!

It's being discussed in these frums before, but the idea behind using the "David Micheals" pseudonym as a banket name for all authors is one that IFP maybe should employ for any future (if ever
 ) continuation novels.

I knew that Clancy was going to publish a Splinter Cell book at some point, but I never thought that Benson would write it! To good to be true! I can't wait. But when does it come out?

Cool. While I've never been a huge Clancy fan I might give this book a spin.
 Thank you, the brief glimpse you've afforded me today will only encourage me to redouble my efforts. |

Probably pick this one up and hopefully read it. Sounds interesting.
 It wouldn't be a James Bond adventure starring Daniel Craig without some controversy! Strawberry Fields, forever |

Yes, count me in for this one.

This is good news! I just started reading "Face Blind", so once I get around to finishing that I may take a look at this series.
I wonder if Raymond will sell copies of this on his webiste? We may not get it in Australia!
