(WELCOME NRO readers)
Yesterday was the official launch of SINS, which also happened to be Supertuesday... not the greatest day to get attention for any book, but things went well, starting with John J. Miller posting a link to his podcast interview with me.
Next I was interviewed by Kirby Wilbur, talkradio host of KVI-AM in Seattle. Kirby and company are off to Washington DC today for the CPAC conference. Kirby will be offering copies of SINS in on-air contests. If you're at the conference, stop by and say hello to him or Matt.
David Montgomery, book reviewer for the Chicago Sun-Times, tagged SINS as "book of the week" at his site, Crime Fiction Dossier.
It's no secret how much I loved Robert Ferrigno's Prayers for the Assassin, last year's winner of the Gumshoe Award for Best Thriller. Now Ferrigno has returned to the world of a post-revolutionary, Islamic America, and the results are just as satisfying. In Sins of the Assassin, Rakkim Epps, Muslim special forces warrior, is sent into the Christian Bible Belt (the Old South of the former USA) to retrieve a secret weapon before the Christians can get their hands on. What ensues is an action-packed and suspenseful thriller, cast against a stunning backdrop of imagination. It's early in 2008, but this is one of the best books I've read so far this year.
Timmer at The Daily Brief, a military blog, also reviewed the book. Much obliged, Tim.
