The Gates of Hell

DEDICATION AND AUTHORS NOTE

First of all, I would like to say a huge thank you by dedicating this book to all the wonderful readers who have stayed with me to this point, and to everyone who has emailed me and contacted me on Twitter and Facebook expressing your fantastic support. It is hugely appreciated and is the major reason I carry on writing.

At this stage in proceedings, I thought a few lines of explanation might be helpful.

The Matt Drake series has always been planned as a four-book arc — what I have come to think of as ‘the Odin Cycle’. That isn’t to say there won’t be more in the series — there definitely will be — just that the continuing mysteries unearthed in Books 1, 2 and 3 will all be solved by the time we reach the extremely explosive end of book 4! Thanks for bearing with me. It certainly has been a rollercoaster ride and I am going to try to make sure book 4 — The Tomb of the Gods — finishes it in style. Release planned for January 2013.

Oh, and as you know by now, I just can’t guarantee everyone will survive…
