Random House has advanced the publication of Putin's Labyrinth by three months. It is coming out in just a few weeks -- on June 24th.
Read excerpt
Praise for Putin's Labyrinth:
If Steve LeVine's aim … was to chill us to the marrow about post-Communist Russia, he has succeeded.
LeVine's reconstruction of a savagely botched anti-terrorist operation at a Moscow theatre is particularly effective.
With fresh insights into the Chechen wars and Putin’s post-presidency plans, LeVine’s important take on the all-too-real machinations and bloodthirstiness from which espionage thrillers are made is both unnerving and intriguing.

Steve:
For those of us who no longer "read" books, is there an audio version coming out as well?
As a trader, I like to do back-testing for the product that I'm trading in. The purpose of the back-testing is to find which techique is BEST to use as an indicator.

Hi Tim, I have no idea at this point whether Random is going to produce an audio version. I hope they do. Let me ask you this -- I raised this point with the editor a few weeks ago, and he said that relatively few people "read" their books this way. He said that by far the most people still do it conventionally. What do you think is the truth?
Unfortunately, spammers have found this blog. So I've just enabled comment moderation to screen them out. Note that I will screen out only spam, such as the gentleman selling oil in the Wednesday posting. Best Steve
