As mentioned in another thread, after being announced by IDW, my new ongoing series is COLD WAR, recounting the adventures of a former MI6 agent who now accepts the occasional "contract" from his former bosses in Her Majesty's Secret Service. Of course, Swann knows that if it gets to the point his former bosses feel they need his help, the ship must have really hit the sand!

Altho set in the early days of the Cold War, this is NOT going to be a history book. I am playing quite freely with the order in which things happened in the real world. And I will not be tying Swann's exploits to any specific year or sequence of years. Those with an awareness of the history of this period may spot a few landmarks -- one in most particular plays an important part as a sub-thread to my overall tale -- but no reason to start checking the History Channel in order to be able to follow what's going on in this series!

Here's a sneekpeek at Page One:

(In case you're wondering, none of those appearing on that page are Swann!)

So can you give us a broader hint as to the genre JB? Is it pure spy/thriller type stuff or something a bit more quirky?

I'll of course be buying it whatever.

Beautiful! Love the details in the architecture. 

You're still "the one to beat" and always will be to me!

Wait and see.

Very recently. This may be the shortest "gestation period" of any book I have worked on.

Sound great ! I especially always loved spy stories (hey, why use a former Mi6 guy if it's not gonna have secrets, and murders, and spys, and hideout, and sexy spy-women ??)

JB, can we expect to see this in 2011 ?

Outstanding!

JB, are you going try to come at this project from a different point artistically, because of the story's cold war era time frame?

Great sneek peak and happy to see another series by JB.

VERY HAPPY!!:)
