The alternative history, including Muslim control of Europe, is more timely than ever, as is the never-ending struggle of individuals against power. Get it at Amazon.com . There's a Kindle edition available now, and other electronic versions coming. I'm also very happy to announce that there are audio editions of my books in the works right now. These will be full-length, unabridged readings performed by brilliant libertarian talk show host Brian Wilson. We are still discussing formats and prices. The first audio book will be _The Nagasaki Vector_. I can hardly wait to hear Brian with a west Texas accent. And now ...
