Dan McNeil appeared bright and early on the A-Channel morning show on Monday. The hosts said they loved the book and congratulated him on its publication. Dan likened the plot to a cross between an Indiana Jones adventure and Kelly’s Heroes. When asked about the writing process, Dan told us that he started the book on a whim, just to see if he could—he didn’t really think of himself as an author at the beginning. Through his extensive research and multiple revisions, the book went in a different direction than he’d first intended.
