Cheers, Han - it's coming out 11th September. Laters!
Brilliant cover, Simon, and great opening - it's been tightened since I last read it and I'm looking forward to seeing how the rest of the book has changed since its autho days.
(paying customers queueing up... this is what it's all about, eh?!)
Great cover. I like. The slab of text across the middle reminds me of the design of the old Penguins. Sort of a contemporary-classic sandwich. You picked a Blair with a particularly punchable mouth too. Nice work. Look forward to being able to buy a copy.
Great cover. Simple and arresting. Reminds me of those old 'New Labour. New Danger' posters, which have become political design classics. Just as your book deserves to become a classic in political literature. Looking forward to being able to buy it.
yeah, instant classic design, excellent fit to the content.
the opening reads punchily too, good stuff all round and fully deserving to be a zeitgeisty election year hit.
Sept 11th? Interesting release date for a political thriller...
Yeah, Empress, it's the most political day of the year.
