Also available in English!

For those of you whose German is as a rusty--or indeed non-existent--as mine, the option of reading Dragonchaser in English is perhaps more appealing. The self-publication is still available here, in every conceivable format bar e-book. Prices vary wildly with exchange rate fluctuations, but the best value edition is perhaps the paperback omnibus (bundled with the rather different The Zael Inheritance) currently at GBP £15.64.

While Dragonchaser was never successful in attracting a UK publisher, it's a still a book I believe in, and will probably appeal to those who enjoyed The Dog of the North. What's not to like about galley-racing, lethal political intrigues, and a man with a past run ragged by beautiful but manipulative women? Aficionados of familiar Stretton motifs will also enjoy a swordfight or two, a trademark hanging scene, and of course a fire, without which no story could be complete.

Dear Tim,

have you already decided, when 'The Last Free City' will be available for anxious readers?

Calindrill, I am stil trying to find a commercial publisher before moving over to self-publication.

However, if you send me a personal email (click on the "Contact the author" link at dragonchaser.net) I'll tell you how to get hold of an advance copy!

No, I think you know when you're a reader when you do that. You also get a really annoyed wife!
