Читать книгу Drago #5 (#2b) - Art Inc. Spinella - Страница 3

Of all the Drago mysteries, this was by far the hardest to write. While I’m a big fan of archeology, anthropology and Area 51, weaving them into a story that doesn’t bore the drawers off of a reader is a challenge.

Add that this is a continuation of the second Drago mystery and it became necessary to complete a tale readers of #2a found intriguing (fanciful, perhaps) in a way that is true to the fiction and to the facts.

Here’s what I can tell you: The migration patterns of ancient peoples found in this book are true. Well, at least some mainstream archeologists from at least three countries believe it to be so. Others are quickly coming on board.

Second, the coal mines in Coos County are actual places and were responsible for keeping the lights on in San Francisco for much of the latter half of the 19^th Century and into the 20^th Century. A list appears at the end of this book.

Third, anything presented as fact in Drago #5(#2b) can be searched on the Internet and I heartily recommend readers do so. There’s some mighty interesting stuff out there that wouldn’t fit in this novel. If Nick and Sal could find it, so can you.
