Five Tribes is Coming Soon
Dear Friends:
Happy New Year everyone! Let’s hope it’s better than last year! We certainly all deserve a break, I think.
We are closing in on the launch date for Five Tribes, which is March 23rd. Things are clicking into high gear now, and I’m really excited about the early reviews, including this one from James Rollins:
“Brian Nelson’s FIVE TRIBES is a tense ripped-from-the-headlines thriller. Written with the authenticity of Tom Clancy and the cutting-edge suspense of Vince Flynn, here is a must-read adventure that deserves to be read by all, especially those in the halls of power. Pick up a copy today.”
—James Rollins, New York Times bestseller of The Last Odyssey
And this one from fellow Blackstone author Dana Haynes:
"In Five Tribes, Brian Nelson has crafted a rock-solid political thriller melded to a science fiction epic. Often in “science fiction,” there’s a higher emphasis on the latter word than the former, but Nelson laces his fiction with believable, well-thought-out science. The former Fulbright Scholar delivers with realpolitik and high-stakes action in a knockout of a novel."
— Dana Haynes, author of St. Nicholas Salvage & Wrecking and Sirocco
Audiobook in Production:
Bradford Hastings, who did such a fantastic job narrating The Last Sword Maker, is back to do the audiobook and will be heading into the studio next week. Part of the book takes place in Africa and involves a group of Khoe-San tribesmen. As you may know they speak a click language and I have sprinkled many of these words into the dialogue. I’m hoping that Bradford will have fun with this and won’t be cursing my name. Right now I’m scrambling to confirm the proper pronunciation of some of the words, which is very difficult because there is shockingly little documentation of the language, which, like many languages, is at risk of dying out.
You can preorder Five Tribes now.
