Dark matter
My debut novel, Free Agent, was released in paperback in the UK by Simon & Schuster on April 29. You can buy it at all the usual places – please do! The novel is set in 1969, and follows British agent Paul Dark as he tries to discover the truth about his past and avoid being killed in the process. It is mainly set in England and Nigeria. I'll post in more detail about my research for it at a later date, but for now here's a visual hodge-podge of some of the books, magazines, pamphlets and images that I found useful when writing the novel. As usual, click on the images to enlarge them.
Just started re-reading Free Agent in paperback. One thing that stands out just a few pages in is the research you did for the novel. Wonderful read again. Graphic detail in places brings the whole experience to life. It's not just a brilliant read it's an experience.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much, Nicholas. It was very kind of you to buy it again, as well!
ReplyDeleteAnything to get my hands on the first few Chapters to Free Country. I have a lot of time for Paul Dark.
ReplyDeleteThanks again, Nicholas. I hope you like the excerpt of Free Country - I'm really pleased they included it.
