Each Chuckanut Radio Hour features a guest author and includes guest musicians, performance poet Kevin Murphy, Cascadia Weekly columnist Alan Rhodes, an episode of "The Bellingham Bean" serial radio comedy, and some groaner jokes by hosts Chuck & Dee Robinson and announcer Rich Donelly. The Chuckanut Radio Hour's first guest was Erik Larson and has since included Elizabeth George, J.A. Jance, Sherman Alexie, Tom Robbins and Garrison Keillor, among many others. The Radio Hour airs every Saturday evening at 6pm and Sunday at 9pm on KMRE 102.3FM. Our musical guest for tonight's show is the group Cabin Fever. This month's special guest is William Dietrich for his new book The Emerald Storm: An Ethan Gage Adventure. In The Emerald Storm the intriguing Ethan Gage, who USA Today has called "a refreshing reminder of what it was to be a neo-American, full of spirit and hungry for adventure," tries to sell a stolen emerald which the French government believes is part of a much larger and long-lost treasure that could enable it to conquer Britain. In Paris, Gage is tortured by a renegade former French police officer and though he escapes, his son is kidnapped. To rescue young Harry, Gage and his wife Astiza must journey to embattled Caribbean Islands which in 1803 are hellholes of disease and unrest.
Dietrich elegantly integrates Gage's thrilling adventure with history by embedding real historical figures such as Napoleon, British glider inventor George Cayley, and the black slave revolutionary Touissant L'Ouverture into the plot. As Publisher's Weekly has noted, "Dietrich combines a likable hero surrounded by a cast of fascinating historical characters." As in previous books in the series, "riveting battle scenes, scantily clad women…reckless heroism, hairsbreadth escapes and undaunted courage" are part of what readers will find fascinating in The Emerald Storm. Ethan is again embroiled with the Napoleonic tumult of ideals, opportunism, inventions, romance, glory, and havoc that gave rise to the modern world. The series, which ranges from the sands of Egypt to the frontiers of North America, offers both thrilling mysteries and an increasingly ambitious global portrait of a crucial and colorful era.
William Dietrich is the author of ten novels, including the historical thriller series featuring the irrepressible American expatriate Ethan Gage: Napoleon's Pyramids,The Rosetta Key, The Dakota Cipher, and The Barbary Pirates. Dietrich is also a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, historian and naturalist. A winner of the PNBA Award, he lives in Washington State.

In Blood of the Reich, critically acclaimed and bestselling author William Dietrich weaves two stories separated by place and time yet deeply intertwined by the dangerous secret they share. On the eve of World War II, explorer Kurt Raeder receives orders from ReichsfÜhrer-SS Heinrich Himmler to set out from Berlin in search of a legendary energy source hidden among the mountains of Tibet—one that could bring victory to the Nazis. Only one man can stop Raeder and his team of SS officers: wealthy American zoologist Benjamin Hood. Together with aviatrix Beth Calloway, he must race to the Buddhist kingdom before the tides of history run red with blood. Decades later, in present-day Seattle, software publicist Rominy Pickett is saved from certain death by a mysterious journalist who claims to know the truth about her family. Rominy’s history and courage hold the key to defeating, once and for all, the evil forces again on the rise. (aripoisonedpen)… (more)

I began my writing career as a newspaper reporter in 1973, published my first non-fiction book, "The Final Forest," in 1992, and my first fiction, "Ice Reich," in 1998, completing a first draft on an Antarctic research ship. I share a Pulitzer for covering the Exxon Valdez oil spill while at the Seattle Times and then taught for five years at Western Washington University's Huxley College of the Environment. While there I authored "Green Fire: A History of Huxley College."
My work at HarperCollins has been historical fiction that ranges from the Roman Empire to my latest tale that ranges from Germany to Washington's Cascade Mountains to Tibet. I've also done thrillers for Warner Books and non-fiction about the Pacific Northwest.
My award-winning first non-fiction book, "The Final Forest," was just reissued by University of Washington Press. For any Twilight fans, it's a book about Forks, Washington, written well before the vampire craze: it gives you the real Forks.
Research for my novels has taken me to the Arctic, Antarctic, Egypt, Israel, Jordan [adapted 1/8/2013 from Amazon.com]  | |
