My friend Seth Harwood has his mainstream debut with his book Jack Wakes Up today, coming out from an imprint of Crown, the same publisher that picked up Scott Sigler. Some of you may not know his book, a modern-day noir thriller that is equal parts James M. Caine and Scott Turow, so I thought I’d introduce you with this PDF preview of the first three chapters of Jack Wakes Up.

Download it, read it, and then go to your local bookstore and buy a copy. It’s a fun read, and there’s enough in there to tickle your lit geek bones till you turn the final page. If you’re not convinced about it, check out my review of the book.
