Goodreads asked Joseph Delaney:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Joseph Delaney Are you talking about Arena 13? If so I got the idea back in 1990. I had been learning to program in a language called Forth and got the idea of android-type entities programmed in such a way and fighting in an arena alongside humans. Then what if one went rogue and started to prey on a city …
It was the book that got me an agent and led to the eventual publication of ‘The Spook’s Apprentice’.
