When will we see a sequel to The Enemy Within? As one of the best alternate histories and best crime novels I’ve come across, I’ve read that book cover to cover more times than I can count.
Love your work!
Thank you! I just went to a lecture this week that is part of the research. So I’m working on it, but no timetable yet. Just moved and had some health issues, so I’m a bit behind on what I want to get done.
Thanks for the kind words!!
