There's more than enough Devil's Food Cake to go around. Help yourself!
I first met James Rollins five years ago.
Okay, not literally. I wish (Fan girl SQUEE!)
I'd just moved to the UK and had hit the local library desperate for something to read. I'd recently discovered thrillers, thanks to Dan Brown, and I wanted something similar. Something with lots of action and excitement, a mystery, some history, maybe a little science.

I'm rubbish at the whole dissection of writing thing, but it boils down to this:

The Devil Colony is available TODAY in the USA. In the UK, Amazon will let you pre-order the hardback. No ebook available yet in the UK, but let's hope it comes out soon. I'm running out of room on my Rollins shelf...
