Message | I read the Faces of Terror trilogy last year, enjoying the first book, but the second, Blood in the Snow, and the last one were even better. Mr Selbourne's message re publishers is far too pessimistic however. The trilogy could well be republished as twentieth century classics, and I see no reason why they should not be. I am sure there would be a significant readership for these books. Penguin, the original publisher should consider this and if not there are publishers who would realise there is a market for these books and a renewed interest in the period he covered. Its a matter of perseverance. Consider the success of Life and Fate, and the thrillers by Alan Furst, some of which tackle the Stalin era in far less depth. The trilogy would also be ideal as a Radio 4 Sunday afternoon serial. |
