Did you know this about the TRIGGER MORTIS cover?


I have a few pages to go before I have read the entire TRIGGER MORTIS novel. If you haven't already read the book I truly feel you should. Especially if you have already seen SPECTRE and cant wait for more new James Bond material. 

Since I live in Sweden I got really envious when I got a heads up from Ian Fleming Publications on their Instagram account that Finland has released TRIGGER MORTIS and with a whole new cover design. I must say that I like the cover they made but I do prefer the UK version. The UK version is much more stylish and it does not look that cheap. But to the Finns defence I know that it is not easy to be a small local publisher and afford a great cover design.
You can buy the Finnish version of TRIGGER MORTIS here!

The Finnish cover for TRIGGER MORTIS

Talking about the cover design for the UK version of TRIGGER MORTIS I found out yesterday that the cover design with the blueprints on the cover seems not to be an original idea.
When the famous book GRAVITY'S RAINBOW by Thomas Pynchon was re-released as a paperback in 1994 they had almost an identical cover design as you can see below. It's a bit sad to notice this. I do like the cover but wanted it to be original. But hey, If you see something you like, steal it.
















Last but not least I have a small tip for those who have the US edition of TRIGGER MORTIS. If you look at the cover for the audiobook instead of the book itself you actually see the cover design far better. The man in a tuxedo becomes more clear for the eye to actually notice. I think the US version had looked better if the man with the tuxedo was easier to spot. See for yourself below.


Below you can order your print of TRIGGER MORTIS from amazon for as low as £9.00.

BBC 4 Books at bedtime features TRIGGER MORTIS


BBC 4 in the UK are currently featuring a TRIGGER MORTIS reading on there Books at bedtime series at 22:45 every night.

The first episode was this Monday and the second episode was yesterday. Each episode is 15 minutes long.

The book is being read by Rupert Penry-Jones and he does it really good. If I were to complain on anything it might be that his American accent seems a bit forced but I sure wish to keep listening every day on my lunch break walk in the local park.


Rupert Penry-Jones is a British TV actor that I dont know if international listeners will reckon. I recommend all of you to listen to this reading of TRIGGER MORTIS. I feel that the voice of Rupert Penry-Jones is far better then the audiobook choice of David Oyelowo. Compare David Oyelowo with Rupert Penry-Jones for your self by clicking on there names. 

If you have not read the book this is an easy way to at least her it. If you have already read the book this is a fun way of picking up details in the script that one does not remember when you read a book for the first time. 

Enjoy! I know I will. You will find an direct link to BBC 4 here!

If you (just like I) wish to have the book in your collection you can sponsor the blog buy ordering your copy of TRIGGER MORTIS by clicking the book below. The price already have a 50% discount and only cost  £9.00 and is -53% on the regular price.
