I just finished reading Megiddo’s Shadow by Arthur Slade. As always, his writing is excellent. I’m a bit squeamish so I’m not sure I would’ve read it all if he weren’t my friend, but boy am I glad I did. A most excellent book. And very exciting too.
All I’ll tell you is it’s set during WWI and if you’re a Nevil Shute fan at all, you’ll absolutely love this book. I hope Art likes Nevil Shute or he’s going to be insulted by this, but it is one of the highest compliments I PERSONALLY can pay him, and it’s that if someone had given me Megiddo’s Shadow to read and told me NS wrote it, I would completely believe it. It’s really, really well done. Of course, you don’t need me to tell you that as he’s winning awards left and right for it already. At least I think that’s what he said in his most recent “I-am-a-writer-extraordinaire-email” <grin>. (He’s got me on his friends list so I can tease him.) And yes, he is a writer extraordinaire! And nice to boot.
Way to go, Art!
