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.
... of course without your help, Joanie's, harpseal's, Travis McGee's and others, I couldn't have gotten it done in any case.
Hope it goes well and that folks have an enjoyable, engrossing and thought provoking read that they then tell others about.
