Coming Out Party - Book of Souls

Friday, January 29, 2010

The UK launch of Book of Souls is next week and I wanted to share the amazing poster that Random House will be plastering all over London rail stations. It's a beauty.















The book is out in Australia and it's just landed it's first review (a really good one) from Dymocks Book's Notes:

Genre: Fiction

Have you read the Library of the Dead yet? You haven’t? But you like Dan Brown, right? A fan of Matt Reilly? Generally enjoy fast-paced adventure/mystery books? Well go out to your local Dymocks and pick up ‘Library of the Dead’Whatever you do don’t read the below review of the stunning sequel ‘Book of Souls’ until you’ve read the first one.

At the end of ‘Library of the Dead’, as far as Will Piper was concerned, the doomsday curse was all wrapped up. His date is BTH (Beyond the Horizon) so why would he need to worry? But who wouldn’t wonder about the significance of Feb 9th 2027? So when an opportunity comes up to get a look at the one book that didn’t make it into the Area 9 vault, the one book that’s still out there, Will Piper is on the case. Little does he know that the hunt for the truth of the library will take him across the world and put himself, and his loved ones, in grave danger.

‘Library of the Dead’ was a fantastic book; fast-paced with a gripping concept that kept you guessing and motivated right to the end. In Glenn Cooper’s follow up more of the mystery is revealed as Will goes on a scavenger-hunt type search across England for the clues to the missing book. The reader gets to see flash backs of the history of that book, while Will deals with many of the revelations we saw in the first book. This method of keeping the reader ten steps ahead of the characters is daring and keeps the story flowing nicely.

‘Library of the Dead’ was un-put-downable and ‘Book of Souls’ doesn’t disappoint. A fantastic read for summer; highly recommended.
