It must be weird though that the world has scooped him and already started a real WWIII.
The events in the book take place in 2005-2006.
The rest of the series will go through 2012.
Just one scenraio (albeit a very sobering and horrific one) of where things might go from here.
Hope you get a chance to get one. If you do, I hope it's a good read for you.
If it hadn't been for Jeff's patriotic and self sacrifice in the service of liberty at Klamath, the book would have been announced at least a month earlier. The prophetic aspect of "Breath of Fire" would then have been even more unsettling. Much success to you, Jeff as I know how many hours and how much of yourself you've invested in the book.
