News and New Years Wishes
The Game Thank you, dear readers, for your support, and your patience as you await the sequels to The Game and The Last Troubadour. I haven't had time to reply to everyone who has written -- I promise to be in touch soon! Very busy with the publisher's last minute proofs for MADicine (sequel to The Game -- MADicine is now on its way to the press!) and The Last Quest (sequel to The Last Troubadour, due out in Fall 08. I beg you to be patient!
The Last Troubadour: Song of Montsegur Meanwhile for Bane fans, here's a sneak peak at MADicine. Bane is at his satirical and sarcastic best as he heads up a new UN agency with the unfortunate acronym of WART. Think of it as The Bourne Identity meets House M.D., as Bane saves the world with his new "angels" -- a satirical nod to Charlie's Angels of course. MADicine is already buzzing:
"In his follow-up to the excellent The Game (2007), Armstrong takes on a whole new set of challenges....Armstrong blends comedy, parody, and adventure in genuinely innovative ways. An ambitious attempt from a writer of abundant talent."Booklist
MADicine "Escaping a facility in California, a virus intended to help cure the world of violence unleashes an epidemic of rage infecting every nation on earth. A relief organization with the unfortunate acronym W.A.R.T. is the world's only hope of salvation. Enter Alban Bane, an acerbic, outrageous detective, and his new partner, Dr. Ada Kenner of the Center for Disease Control, who detects a pattern in the mysterious pockets of rage. The unlikely duo chase the virus from Los Angeles to France, Hong Kong, and Africa in a global race against time in the company of a ragtag cast of allies and enemies. This robust adventure satirizes medical thrillers and zombie stories in one suspenseful sweep, delivering equal measures of satire, thrills, suspense, and comedy." IPG
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
