From today's The Times: "Trump has also hit out at Taiwan’s dominance of parts of the global tech supply chain, particularly the computer chip mass market, and demanded America become more self-sufficient." Why not read Jan the Dutchman? @hobeckbooks.bsky.social and Amazon t.co/qDDMia6hng

New review "Yet another great thriller from David - they keep on getting better. Great plotting and characters. Mike Kingdom stars again. That Jan the Dutchman isn't called Jan, isn't a Dutchman and isn't dead is a great premise. Thank-you David and keep them coming." @hobeckbooks.bsky.social

Review of The Green Feathers "Expertly plotted with characters so well written they jumped off the page and descriptions so vivid I felt I was right there in the centre of the action. I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline; this is exactly what I enjoy reading." Amazon t.co/Z09AgFqL80
