Nathan Swain's debut novel The Eden Deception crackles with historical riddles, archaeological puzzles and political intrigue. Thriller, mystery, historical fiction - The Eden Deception combines the best of each genre. The result is an explosive, page-turning adventure.

Nathan Swain (a psuedonym) was born in Chicago, Illinois. He graduated from the University of Virginia and worked as a journalist for six years, reporting from East Africa, Russia and across the United States. For the past decade he has practiced law with a large, international law firm.

It deserves my time and attention, so I am reading in fits and starts. Each chapter is a window into a fascinating, sometimes disturbing and familiar time and place. Each chapter is immensely thought provoking, drawing on Douglass' life as it was lived and as he himself portrayed it, sometimes differently over time.

Smiley's People by John le Carre. As the title makes clear, this is another of le Carre's novels centered on British spy George Smiley. Le Carre delivers intricate plots and classic thriller pacing, but his writing is sui generis - hard to pin down, quirky, intelligent, always holding something back.

Pagan Regeneration by Harold Willoughby. This is an academic work written about a century ago I believe. This is research for my next Will Eastgate novel. It focuses on the pagan religious practices of the Mediterranean world primarily before the dawn of Christianity. The book can be difficult to penetrate, clouded with academic-speak and archaic writing conventions of the early 20th century. But the information is very interesting.

The other is because I have so little time to write I generally have no loss for ideas when I finally get the opportunity to put pixel to screen.(less)
