A very happy day for me, to see my book in the French (Operation Joshua: Dossier Confidential – La Prophetie Maya) and German (Geheimakte Joshua: Die Unsichtbare Stadt) editions.
I like the French title very much although they have missed out on the Calvino reference. Aha, you may come to regret that come Joshua 3, mes cheres amis.
I know I have gone on and on about the pyramid point-of-sales materials but LOOK! It’s so pretty!
There are bookmarks and posters too.
I can give away one poster and some bookmarks, if anyone wants to play another quiz.
OR…you could just promise to write a review of ICE SHOCK on Amazon when it comes out. Doesn’t have to be long. And please – only if you like the book! I’m not nearly famous or well-liked enough to be able to afford bad reviews there…
Joshua Files has now sold in 14 languages: French, German, Spanish, Catalan, Japanese, Polish, Romanian, Slovakian, Czech, Hungarian, Turkish, Greek, Indonesian, Vietnamese.
I have to say that just seeing it in three languages is blowing my mind quite a bit. Fourteen is just…BOGGLE.
Well done to the translators, Frank Boehmert (Deutsch), Amelie Sam (Francais), Ivan Stefanek (Slovak). I have been looking through Frank’s version and marvelling at how some things translate. In fact I think my very rusty German would benefit enormously from reading it.

That’s the biggest German sci-fi website, run by the publisher of the PERRY RHODAN series.
Congrats,

Ooh, thank you Frank, I like that! And he was attracted to the book because you translated it. 🙂
‘popcorn cinema’ eh? I hope so, one day!
When will the 4th french book be release?
I love the 3 firsts book so that’s why i’m asking.I didn’t find anything on internet that was talking about it. I hope you will answer,
Jacob
Hi Jacob and thanks for your comment. 🙂 but I’m really sorry to say that I just don’t think the French publisher intend to release the fourth and fifth books. It makes me sad too. I’m so glad you enjoyed the first three.
So that means I’ll have to learn english to read the end of the story? No prob,i’d love to.
Thanks for answering so quickly,
Happily,Jacob
