Thanks for visiting my website.
2009 marked my debut as a novelist and I want to thank my readers for making it a fantastic year. With your help, Library of the Dead/Secret of the Seventh Son has been an international bestseller with almost 700,000 copies sold to date and 29 translations completed or in the works! Although Library of the Dead has yet to be published in several territories including Spain and France, I'm turning my thoughts to Book of Souls which will be released in most of the world in 2010.
Book of Souls picks up the action a year after the conclusion of Secret of the Seventh Son/Library of the Dead. Will Piper’s life has been forever changed by the astonishing secret he’s discovered hidden at the government’s clandestine installation deep under the Nevada desert.
His uneasy retirement from the FBI is interrupted when a long-missing book surfaces at an auction house in London. A group of ex-Area 51 employees, who call themselves the 2027 Club, recruits Will to assist them in obtaining the book and helping them solve a mystery that will affect the fate of all mankind.
As deadly government operatives try stop him, Will discovers the ancient missing volume has had a profound effect on history. Remarkably, a newly-found puzzle sonnet by a young William Shakespeare seems to have been inspired by the book.
As Will peels back the onion to solve a series of clues hidden in the poem, he finds the book has influenced not only Shakespeare but also the religious philosophy of John Calvin, the father of predestination and the prophesies of the seer, Nostradamus.
When the final clue yields the ultimate secret, Will is forced to confront a truth which mankind may not be prepared to hear.
Now, in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Commonwealth countries, my third book, The Tenth Chamber, is also coming out in 2010. This is a stand-alone thriller about a prehistoric painted cave in France and the profound secret it holds. Look for it in 2011 in most other territories.
I appreciate all the notes and comments I receive through the website and those of you who've written know I love to personally respond. So in 2010, let's keep up the dialogue,
Glenn
