Everyone check out what's being released on April 24. Robert Goddard's James Maxted series Book #4!

>2 Carol420: just did some research on the Goddard book. I don’t think it has anything to do with James Maxted. I think it’s just a new standalone. I checked his Facebook page too.

A new St. Cyr for our group reads... And a new Goddard is always a good thing, :)

>3 EadieB: There seems to be some discrepancy between Fantastic Fiction's description and Amazon's for the same book.

This is from Amazon:


Finally free of the shadow cast by his father's death, Max Maxted is back.
1924. Germany teeters on the brink of financial meltdown. The new Nazi party are for the first time vying for real political power. And the slightest incident could tip the country into violence and anarchy. When a young man is stabbed in the door of a Berlin nightclub, an already overheated situation threatens to spiral out of control. This is classic Robert Goddard - master of the double-cross.

This is from Fantastic Fiction:


Sometimes the danger is on the inside . . .High on a Cornish cliff sits a vast uninhabited mansion. Uninhabited except for Blake, a young woman of dubious background, secretive and alone, currently acting as housesitter. The house has a panic room. Cunningly concealed, steel lined, impregnable – and apparently closed from within. Even Blake doesn’t know it’s there. She’s too busy being on the run from life, from a story she thinks she’s escaped. But her remote existence is going to be invaded when people come looking for the house’s owner, missing rogue pharma entrepreneur, Jack Harkness. Suddenly the whole world wants to know where his money has gone. Soon people are going to come knocking on the door, people with motives and secrets of their own, who will be asking Blake the sort of questions she can’t – or won’t – want to answer. And will the panic room ever give up its secrets?

Somebody has made a huge mistake. However either book sounds good and would make an excellent group read. I just hope everyone doesn't get books with one or the other topic content. It's almost like he wrote one of them and changed his mind and wrote another and gave them the same title. Strange. The only thing I know for certain is Robert Goddard has a new book...The PAnic Room coming out April 24. I rather prefer Fantastic Fiction's version:)

>5 Carol420: I agree with everything you say. I think Goddard confused people because he said he was going to do a 4th book and then wrote this book as a standalone and some expected this to be his 4th Maxted but on his facebook page he said he was doing a surprise book instead of the 4th Maxted. Maybe he will do a 4th book but not at this time. Confusing!

>6 EadieB: Wait until people start ordering the books and find out they aren't what they were expecting.

>7 Carol420: I’m sure they are still getting a good story
