Also in Fall is the latest in the Lt. Leary/Adele Mundy series by David Drake, Some Golden Harbor. SFBC Editor-in-Chief Ellen Asher asked David if he had anything to say about it, and of course he did:

We all play politics. It's at least as true in the military as anywhere else that people who say they don't play politics just mean that they play politics badly. Some Golden Harbor explores a question I've run into frequently in memoirs: what happens to a dashing young officer when his friends in the ministry lose their jobs?

I intended Harbor to be a novel of character rather than a slam-bang adventure, but I don't think I could put Daniel Leary in a book and not have an adventure. Still, it's got as tense a scene as any that I've written, without a shot or even a threatening word.

The history in Harbor is real. The fun was all mine, though, and I hope that comes through to you.
