Or if you are in South Africa, contact Chris Hoare using the Contact tab. Other interesting book news is that the same publisher is interested in republishing ‘The Seychelles Affair’ by Mike Hoare, and negotiations are taking place.
And don’t forget that all Mike Hoare’s seven books are available from audible.com, with Mike Hoare himself reading the text.
Then, exciting news, a New York film company is interested in buying an option to make a film based on one of Mike Hoare’s best short stories. The story is the climax item in Mike’s book Congo Warriors, and is titled ‘The light at Faradje’. A contract is being finalized for consideration.
And finally, 24 November this year is the 59th anniversary of the massacre of 27 innocent hostages by the Simbas at Stanleyville. Of this, Mike wrote in Congo Mercenary: “It was an act of unparalleled savagery. Stanleyville bore witness to one of the most hideous and barbaric crimes of the century, a premeditated act of murder, for which the leaders of the rebel regime must one day he held accountable.” Of course, no one has been held accountable, but we can be certain that had it not been for the Belgian paratroopers and the ‘Wild Geese’ more people would have been massacred.
