Paulette Cooper Noble asked Tim Butcher:

"Blood River" was not only a fascinating book, but a very well written one. I really enjoyed it and will look into buying "Chasing the Devil." Thank you for writing me. What are you working on? I'm also a writer. Regards, Paulette Cooper Noble www.paulettecooper.com Paulette is the author of 22 books (and 1000+ articles) including "The Scandal of Scientology," "The Medical Detectives," etc.

Tim Butcher The new one is my most ambitious, one involving a journey through history as well as global geography. I will let you know more when I can.
In the meantime, I have another one out since Chasing the Devil, an account of the young man who triggered so much when he fired his pistol on a Sarajevo street corner on a sunny June morning in 1914. Not only did he spark the First World War but all the great events ever since – it is called The Trigger.

Bongo asked Tim Butcher:

I did enjoy both your Africa books. I've always wanted to go to the Congo. Tell a lie I spent five minutes standing in a field in eastern Congo just over the border and a short bicycle ride away from Arua. I alwys travel light and I was wondering if you were to travel of the beaten track in Congo would you lug around a laptop again or just put a Black and Red notebook and biro in your back pocket?

Alan Parker asked Tim Butcher:

Tim, I just finished "Blood River". To discover how things are now, I checked Kisangani in Wikipedia. To my surprise, it has changed a lot: "The city is a centre for television, radio, theatre and film. The waterfront and nightlife attract residents and tourists alike." Either the situation has changed profoundly, or someone is putting a brave face on the situation (to be polite). The question is which?
