I am in love with your book. I listened at the end of the pod - twice! Absolutely riveting!

While I will definitely be ordering an actual book, allow me to offer a plea from the visually impaired community (raises hand), please finish the audio book. 😀

Cheers! 🥂

My book order will arrive later today. I can't wait to start reading it! I wish I knew earlier there'd be a unique package with a signed copy and the coin. I'm so glad you are coming back to novel/fiction. Allison's narration is captivating. I'm sure the audiobook would be a hit, too. Congratulations on your new publication, Greg!

Greg, this publication must have lifted a heavy weight off your mind and body. And soul?

Of course i will order a signed copy.

Not sure what I'd do with the coin?

I'M not big on NOVELS but I'll give it a go.

It sounds like it would have been good had i gone to a university and majored in Literature and Ancient history.

I simply love your feminine side, Greg! So how do we get a signed book?

I will read this book! And it's certainly not something I'd seek out, but the excerpt here has convinced me that I MUST know this story. Glad I got that Kindle with the bigger memory. lol Going to get now, and this will be next, right after I finish Malcolm Nance's "They Want to Kill Americans," which so far, is astounding and harrowing -- people have become fucking nuts! Thanks, Greg, and good luck with sales!

I'm with the Major -- 700 pages of Olear is surefire 700 pages of good 💩

Thanks for all you do

Omg. The baby girl was me. I can’t even. ❤️. Your characters make thunder and lightening. You’ve been there. The delicious book I need right now. Margarit Yourcenaur comes to mind. Her manuscript had a suitcase journey for 10 years. Greg, this is powerful stuff. 🙏.

I'm the Trump of fiction readers. Give me a lot of Jawohl, mein Obergruppenfuhrers and I'll keep reading. Will I find that this is the sort of thing I like ? (as book reviewer Abe Lincoln once wrote.)

Huzzah Greg! Appears I’m in need of a Byzantine history brush-up.

Greg, I look forward to reading your tome as I have always been fascinated w Byzantine art especially the mosaics which I would look at in my parent’s art history books as a child. Also, the appropriation of early Byzantine culture by the Kievan Rus a few centuries before your novel is set is of utmost interest. Congrats. (I will read & if I ever write novel I’ll expect the same from you in return:).
