We received the proposed cover for the next release,..well actually it will be the SECOND release after INTERDICTION in the "DJ" Jacobs series. ( Terrorist Number Two ..due out in December 2011 is the series following the first INTERDICTION) It will be HAL-THE VIGILANTE UAV DRONE.
This is a story of a group of engineers that decide to place the industry's largest possible computer ---one with 6 Brontobytes of memory--on board one of the latest Unmanned Ariel Drone. The result is both interesting and comic....in some places. ( The unit wants to be called "Hal" after the computer in the movie Space Odyssey 2001") Hal starts doing its own missions and on the second one--unauthorized by command, it takes out an Afghan oil transport truck. When command transmits to the UAV "You just took out a friendly",..it responds with ....."OOPS. This one, I have found is as fun to write as it is to read. Computer wizards will take me apart for the terminology and process methods that I have the big computer programed for but,,..that's all part of fiction IMHO.

Tough navagation
Just found out from a reader why we don't have any "COMMENTS" on here. Several people have tried but are told they have to be a member of the "TEAM"?????
WTF Blogger????? THAT wasn't part of the sign up process.
HOW can you expect readers to come here, read and then go through that kind of process just in order to leave a comment?
The process not only wants you to be a "TEAM" member, it wants you to join/sign up for GOOGLE
I think I just got the clue.......
They set it that way so that 1. I need to "Upgrade" to get my readers capability to comment or;
2. The reader needs to join and pull out their credit card.
REALLY great marketing idea Google----Who on your team thought of that process????
LOL, well that ends the free blog for Addison Gast Adventure books,....we'll place everything on the home page we have had for years at http://www.addisongastbooks.com see you over there sports fans....

September 1 Release Date for RECIPROCITY --ON Target!!
Contrary to what my EX-agent ( as in EXspouse) used to claim, I DO and CAN keep deadlines. We launched our second in the Tim Ryan series today RECIPROCITY.
And what a coming out party it was! We placed a free (100%) coupon on the Twitter page and then did the same on three other blog boards. The result was over 350 downloads of the ePub format for Kindle and Nook and a few for Sony and some others. The only bummer was that although the viewers said nice things on Twitter ( GREAT READ!!!, Exciting! etc) they forgot to leave a review on Smashwords. I have excused them for their remiss because to write a review on Smashwords, you have to go to the page where you chose the download format and look for the teeny tiny two words "Write Review" and even then to give it the five stars it deserves ( ahem) you have to look close to see where you do that because you have to run the mouse over the stars to highlight. Hey, just the fact that there were this many downloads ( and they continue to click right along as we post here) makes yours truly ecstatic. The fact that people are not writing a review is kind of like loaning your wheels to your best buddy and he brings it back without filling the tank? Get the analogy? In this series, actually Tim Ryan is not the main character--his son Billy is. Billy and his buddy Chad are, at the time of the story grown and finished college. They then go to work for the government as analysts in the C.I.A. They decide to take a surfing vacation in Costa Rica and inadvertently become involved with the biggest drug cartel in Central America. What follows is the boys are captured and Tim and his pals from EXTRACTION decide to come to Costa Rica and get them released. All of this happens with the guys from Homeland Security Agency and the CIA trying to keep up with what they consider a bunch of over the hill veterans trying to pull off their own special ops. That is, until they find out WHO these guys are. In the process of staying alive, Billy and Chad meet a older German man that has been living in Venezuela for some time. It turns out that he is a WW2 U Boat Captain that has escaped with a bunch of der Fuhrers gold that was taken from the Jews in Germany and Poland. From that point on, the escapade keeps pace with the pace that Billy's Dad Tim set in EXTRACTION.
