Bantam Books is preparing to publish a prose novel by Greg Rucka based on his Queen & Country series of graphic novels published by Oni Press.  The new novel, A Gentleman's Game, is an original work, not a reworking of the suspense-filled graphic novels.  In the ripped-from-the-headlines plot of Rucka's new novel, a Madrid-like attack on London commuter trains that kills 372 innocent Britons becomes the catalyst for a secret mission for agent Tara Chase who is charged with eliminating a fanatical Saudi Arabian religious leader. 

 

A Gentleman's Game: A Queen & Country Novel is a 352-page hardcover with a cover price of $24.00.  The novel will be released on September 28 and is available from FM International as well as from all the normal book distributors.
