Get a load of this:
Two thousand years ago, thirty shekels were paid to secure the most infamous betrayal of all time. Melted down by the grandsons of Judas Iscariot, Menahem, and Eleazar ben Jair in the dark heart of the Sicarii fortress, Masada, the silver was re-forged as a dagger. When the Sicarii zealots committed mass suicide in AD73, the dagger of Iscariot and the truth of his sacrifice were lost. Until now.
A religious cult calling itself the Disciples of Judas has risen in the Middle East. Its influence is pernicious, its reach long. In thirteen cities across Europe thirteen people martyr themselves in the name of Judas, promising forty days and forty nights of terror. On the last day, they promise, faith will fall. Everything you believe in will be proved wrong.
In a race against time and prophecy -- believing the terrorists intend to assassinate the Pope -- a team of combat specialists codenamed Ogmios tracks a labyrinthine course through truth, shades of truth and outright lies that will take them all the way into the heart of the Holy See itself.
And today is Day One.
Holy crap, dudes! This book is seeing high praise from the likes of Douglas Preston, Steven Alten, and many, many more top names as the next big thriller Godzilla -- big enough to knock off the likes of Dan Brown. So run. Run for your bomb shelters now.
Silver releases 1/19/10 .
Meanwhile, here's a creepy little trailer to tease your brain:

!!! Cover art for the new book !!!
I was going to call this entry "Rok Pandemie, or, I Think I See A Pattern Developing Here"... but honestly, messing with Kat's mind is just too sweet. ;)
This is the cover for the Czech edition of Plague Year, which I'm told is due out in February. Love the gas mask. Love the byline above the title. Love it love it love it. I think the whole concept has a stark, metallic feel almost like a Terminator movie poster, nicely offset by the caution grid across the bottom and the blood red biohazard symbol. Nicely done, BBArt! Also, the book is in hard cover, which is what every paperback writer dreams about. Wow.

Is it Christmas yet?
In the meantime, I've finally posted my introduction for "Christmas Fire" on YouTube. Don't miss it! I'm wearing a funny hat. And... what's wrong with my face!?!
Clearly I'm going to have to change the thumbnail image. Don't blink or you'll miss it. Ha.
More soon. I swear it! :)
