Michael Stephen Fuchs' thriller The Manuscript is now available on our fair shores, at least from Amazon and from Powell's as well as a couple other online sellers. Reviews on Amazon are running 4 1/2 stars out of five, so Michael ought to be patting himself on the back.
Not sure if it's in bookstores or not; I plan to go pester a few just to find out. A clerk at Barnes & Noble told me it's not in the store, but that it was available for immediate delivery from their warehouse, which means that some of them have already arrived in California. In any case, if you can't you can't find one in your local book dive, they can be apparently be ordered easily enough from the stores; or, if you prefer not to get out of that chair, a few mouse clicks will do the same.
It's cheaper here, as it's a trade paperback. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the cool new cover--shown to the left--that the upcoming paperbacks will have in the UK. [Correction: That cool new cover apparently hasn't been approved for public release yet, so now I'm reverting to the old cover...which is also pretty cool. For those of you who already saw the new cover at this site: You've seen into the future. That's what clairvoyance feels like.]
Nonetheless, I seem to recall someone saying something to me about books and their covers and judging them thereby. So don't hold out for the new cover. Go ahead and get one now.

...Actually, that book sounds pretty damn interesting from reading those reviews. I'm sold, besides the David Recommendation. ;)
Both covers are fairly Cool Looking.
Michael Fuchs writes rubbish. Do not buy this book.Even a new cover wouldn't save it. If you are tempted, read the forword and that will put you off for life. This poor sap is trying to jump on the coattails of The Da Vinci Code and fails miserably.
