The Paperback World will not die

 Some people will always buy the paperbacks


Despite the rise of the ebook, I feel the paperback will not die.
As I found today, one of the resons ebooks will struggle to sell is to buy an ebook, you ned to provide the store with an email. Many people, wisely, are afraid of doing this in case they leave themselves open to cybercrime attacks.
The story behind my image is an intriguing mystery from India.
The main character is an author who is celebrating the launch of his new book, at the reception are a group of peple known to him; some from the near, and others from a long time passed.
After the reception, and the initial giving of presents, he vanishes for some reason.
All the people at the reception had good reason to hate him, even his daughter. Nobody can work out if he lleft the party, or was killed. Equally intriguing is the appearance of a mystery present that none of the guests have any idea of.

Forgestriker- the collection

Image
The collected stories of the Forgestriker crew These are the stories of the men aboard the research vessel  Forgestriker ; sent to set up a listening station on the planet Gameroom, then men find out that all is not what it seems. Fighting for their lives, in a never ending series of rear-guard actions; the mind plays tricks on you, and for some, the endless fight gets too much. With the success of the first set of stories, I plan on adding four more stories in the omnibus edition.                                                 Forgestriker -  The hit series   When I started the series, I had no idea Forgestriker would take such a hold at  Barnes & Noble.  I looked at the site and thought  "With most of the market being in higher education establishments, I would have no chance of selling any e-books."  This...
