A note of congratulations to Richmond Noir contributor David L. Robbins, whose ninth novel, Broken Jewel, has just been published and is receiving some stellar reviews.
Publishers Weekly calls it "the best WWII Pacific campaign novel in a long time," and says, "This is a terrific story of the triumph of he human spirit, loaded with suspense, historical accuracy and fast-paced action."
The Library Journal calls Broken Jewel "magnificent" in a starred review.
Kirkus Reviews (also starred) says it's "a remarkable story, brilliantly told."
Then there's James Bradley, author of Flags of Our Fathers, who calls Broken Jewel "a touching love story and a thriller of a read."
And the praise doesn't stop there! Our congratulations to David! As you might recall from the attention he recently garnered Richmond Noir in Publishers Weekly, David is the author of the short story "Homework," set in the city's East End. Our book comes out in March 2010. In the meantime, should you live in Richmond, Broken Jewel can be found at local outlets like Chop Suey Books and Fountain Bookstore. Not in Richmond? Look for Broken Jewel at a bookstore near you, or order it from our commercial overlords at Amazon.
