You can get a copy of my book, Operation: Sergeant York from Amazon.com. This is the link to the US site:
http://www.amazon.com/Operation-Sergean ... 031&sr=8-1

The Kindle version is $2.99, and you don't need a Kindle, you can use your PC. The paper back price is $29.95, outrageous I know, but that was the publishers decision, not mine.

Very cool. What kind of plans can we expect in this one? ;)

Helluva review you got there already. Might have to pick up a copy for my pops, he likes this kind of fare.

Excellent Bill, I'l be ordering a copy for sure. What do you think of the Bernard Samson trilogies by Len Deighton? Top stuff for me, I love his style and humour.

Game, Set, Match - Hook, Line, Sinker. Gosh, read those about twenty years ago - great books. Spy Hook is staring at me from my bookshelf as I write. I was always on the lookout for a new Len Deighton book.

I've discovered that the Kindle formatting left out the paragraph indents, so it's a bit hard to read. I'll fix it ASAP, it shouldn't take more than a couple of days.

I started in 1997, finished it in 1999.

I just uploaded it again, this time the paragraph indents took but they appear almost too large. :bash:

Anywho it takes a day after uploading for it to be available, so figure Sunday evening.

Very cool.
Do you have background in the field, or did you just do tons of research?

I didn't do any research, other than the four years it took to get my BA in History.
