Hi! I just bought my copy of GHOST and I'm already hooked after reading the first chapter. However, I learned that it's the third book in a series so I wanted to know... Should I read NOMAD and EXILE first or can they be read out of order?
James Swallow
Thanks! The novels in my Marc Dane series can be read individually, but I'd suggest reading them in order to get the full arc of the story and characters.

Dear Mr Swallow, I'm delighted to inform you that I have managed to read 14 chapters of your first "original" (non tie in with existing media franchise) spy novel NOMAD and I'm loving it immensely. I've written half the review. A question, I detect a lot of spiritual similarities with Three Days Of The Condor. Were you inspired that film when writing your own book?

James Swallow:
Dear Mr Swallow. I'm back and I have written a review of NOMAD. A question, Marc Dane. Was he inspired by the protagonist of Three/Six Days Of The Condor? Both are not trained field officers, they have technical backgrounds (Condor repaired telephones before joining the CIA) and they both lose colleagues motivating their revenge missions https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1780058992

James Swallow:
Hello James. Having finished reading and reviewing Exile, I have a question. Solomon. Founder of Rubicon who rose from war torn West Africa to become one of the most powerful men on earth. While an enigmatic figure, hated by nation state intel services and mistrusted by Marc Dane, he seems to be imbued with an old world nobless oblige. What ideas were you exploring when coming up with his characterization?
