John's newest novel, Bannerman's Ghosts has been available since April, 2003.

John's latest novel, "The Aisha Prophecy," is finished and, he hopes, will be published this year. The prophecy - a real one - could turn the radical muslim world on its ear. Google "The Aisha Prophecy" and see for yourself. It foretells the arrival, right about now, of a sort of muslim Joan of Arc who, accompanied by an avenging angel named Qaila, is coming to "show men how they have fallen into error" and "to raise up the women of Islam." It ends, "Woe to those who would deny her or kill her. The angel Qaila will send them to hell."

Great stuff.

More later. This is bound to get Maxim some death threats. He says he'd love the publicity.
