100 advance copies just arrived. I was able to find a way to include the 1915 Allis Chalmers tractor-truck into the story. The novel is 301 pages and $16.95. Let me know if you want a signed copy. Thanks, Steve

Bob, The title to the Novel is "The Lost Tribe" set in 1915 aboard a British steamer at the early stage of WW1. Here's a short synopsis: From a cemetery in Ontario, to Savannah, to the Amazon, and Africa, Jake Johnson must fight a running battle for control of a secret weapon. That secret weapon is human. Twenty years of torture and starvation turned this unique race of people into a deadly force. There is however, one force even greater and its symbol is a woman in a black and white habit. Instead of the Tribe being turned loose in the Allied trenches in France, Jake, and the passengers and crew must risk it all to do the right thing and return these people to their home. The book has been reviewed by non other than Clive Cussler and he said: "The Lost Tribe is a wild adventure and well written."
Now to answer the Allis Chalmers question. When I started writing this one a year ago, a couple of my forum friends reminded me that including something Allis was like a tradition in my stories. (the last three of my stories had Allis in them). The problem was with the date, all I could find was the proto-type Tractor-truck, of which ten were sold to Russia, and then lost to time. One, the original unit I believe, was used around West Allis for sometime before being scrapped at the start of WW2. Several forum members were very helpful in getting pictures of the unit to me which was a termendous help in using them in the story. Hope this helps, Thanks, Steve
