You're right... Rossett will be back. The new book, The British Lion is out in October in the USA, and December in the UK, and I can't wait!

Thanks again, and I hope you enjoy the sequel!

Gene! Thanks so much for getting in touch and for your rating.
Sadly, as it stands, I'm a bit too busy to write another Rossett novel. I'm currently writing a television series set in Liverpool staring Martin Freeman that should be hitting people's screens late next year, and that's eating up all my time.

I do miss John though, and I often wonder what he got up to after the events of An Army of One. One day I'm hoping we can find out!

Thanks again, I genuinely appreciate your interest and support.
Best, Tony (less)

“There is evil! It's actual, like cement.

I can't believe it. I can't stand it.

Evil is not a view ... it's an ingredient in us. In the world. Poured over us, filtering into our bodies, minds, hearts, into the pavement itself.”
Philip K. Dick, The Man in the High Castle

Thank you so much mate! Looking at some of the entries I'm guessing I'll not stand a chance, but it is nice to know that people care enough about my work to take the time to do that. I really appreciate it.
