Allan Schulz asked Tim Butcher:

Tim - I thoroughly enjoyed your original take on the origins of WWI in "The Trigger". The way you were able to weave your experience from the Bosnian War in the 90s added a further level to one's understanding of an important subject. You may have to ask Bosnian Tourism for royalties as you made the place seem most appealing to an adventurer! What do you plan on writing about next?

Tim Butcher Hi Alan – I await with great interest the royalty cheque from Sarajevo Tourism. Next book takes me all from South Africa (the Cederberg mountains to be exact) via Ethiopia to India, Myanmar through the Americas to the shore of Lake Geneva. An odd route, I concede, but a historically rich one. My previous books have taken me down the Congo (Blood River) and through the rainforest of Liberia (Chasing the Devil). Happy Reading, TimB
