    Twenty-two years after the Second World War, a precarious balance of power maintains the peace between Great Britain and the USSR. For decades, the warlocks have been all that stand between the British Empire and the Soviet Union-- a vast domain stretching from the Pacific Ocean to the shores of the English Channel. But now each death is another blow to Britain's security.

    Would you consider the audio edition of The Coldest War to be better than the print version?

    Witchcraft made science, science made sorcery and more plot twists than backroad in the Alps. Okay, enough with cute sayings...this book and it's Milkweed predecessor are fresh, new and clever addition to the genre. Did I mention how skillfully it was written? Or the superb job Kevin Pariseau did with the narration? Ian Tregillis is simply fantastic. Hat's off!


    What was one of the most memorable moments of The Coldest War?

    Sorry, no spoilers.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    Sorry, no spoilers.


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    Witchcraft made science, science made sorcery...

    German for Dummies is not an audio translation of German for Dummies. It is an entirely new product, with an audio-learning focused pedagogy.

    This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

    If you're heading to Germany for a vacation in a few weeks and need to pick up some helpful phrases this book might be for you. But as far as using it as a tool to actually learn the language...well, I'd go with Pimsleur or some other more structured approach.


    Would you be willing to try another book from Edward Swick? Why or why not?

    No...as this book was billed as an easy tool to assist learing the language I feel my money would be better spent on other books.


    What three words best describe the narrator’s performance?

    The narration was very nicely done.


    If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from German for Dummies?

    I would have restructured the entire approach.
