Castaways of the Kriegsmarine
My next book is on track for a September release. I'm awaiting the last couple of review comments and checking everything for the n'th time myself. Which, of course, doesn't mean there won't be any howlers in there!

Max Hastings - The Secret War
On Tuesday I went to Hastings' talk and signing event for his new book. It seemed a bit of a cheek to charge entry (I wish I could get away with that!) but it was a good show and the view from the 14th floor conference room was lovely.
On a first skim through the book and index it seems very good on spies, signals intelligence and subversion; offering his usual interesting mix of overview and anecdote. Surprisingly it almost completely ignores prisoners-of-war as a source of intelligence, a field that has greatly opened up over the last few years.
More when I've actually read the book.
