Readers' Most Anticipated Books for Fall 2025
A Goodreads user
A Goodreads user asked Tim Butcher:

I absolutely love the way you write. I read Blood River in 2008 - I believe it came out that year, and I can still recall the Chinese guy on a bicycle doing trade where no one else could. Do you thing ||DRC is ready to trade? How has Covid affected it?

Tim Butcher I hope it is OK but I have written to you privately on this. Cheers, Vee

Peter asked Tim Butcher:

Read both books ages ago, but thought they were worth a puff. I think we may have some links: I was assistant sports editor at the Telegraph from 1990-2013, worked at the Mail, People and Mirror (in its heyday), but I am a Zimbo having grown up in Rhodesia. Dad ended up as Mugabe's first chief justice (used to be a good thing) and uncle was rector at Peterhouse. Am having an outing to Kaap outing in November?

Hi Tim, I really enjoyed The Trigger. My question is: What do you think would have happened (or not) if Princip hadn't pulled the trigger, or if he had missed his target? (Sorry, I know you're not a fantasy author, but nevertheless ...!)

Harry Barnett
Harry Barnett asked Tim Butcher:

I was wondering about the provisions you brought along on the trip. Graham Greene and his cousin had a large group of bearers to carry items such as food, whiskey and hammocks. You, on the other hand, appeared to eat whatever was at hand; bland chicken and rice, and even a tin of cat food (unknowingly). Why not bring along some of those freeze dried dinners that are so popular with backpackers?
