The Providence Rider
Robert R. McCammon. Subterranean (www.subterraneanpress.com), $26.95 (416p) ISBN 978-1-59606-466-9Problem-solver Matthew Corbett’s past comes back to haunt him in McCammon’s intriguing fourth historical thriller (after 2010’s Mister Slaughter). Shanghaied in 1704 from Manhattan to Pendulum Island, the Bermuda home of his nemesis, criminal mastermind Professor Fell, Matthew is tasked with finding out who among Fell’s criminal confederates is leaking to England Fell’s plans to sell a devastating new type of weapon to the nation’s European enemies. Matthew must not only risk betraying his mother country to do Fell’s bidding but also find some way to save his girlfriend, Berry Grigsby, whom Fell is holding in pawn until Matthew completes the job. Once again, McCammon provides a colorful and well-researched depiction of colonial America, enlivened by a rogues’ gallery of well-drawn characters. Hair’s-breadth escapes and the teasing promise that characters who appear to have been disposed of might resurface in future adventures make this a rollicking good yarn. Agent: Cameron McClure, DMLA.

Robert McCammon is Coming!
As we did with The Five, we’ve decided to fly Rick McCammon to the SubPress offices to sign The Providence Rider for customers. He’s become such a part of the SubPress family that it made sense to bring him in again. We also have a very limited stock of Baal left, which he’ll be happy to personalize as well.
Now’s also a good time to let you know that we put our heads together with Rick and his agent and worked out the frameworks so we’ll publish the fifth Matthew Corbett novel down the road.
To limit the effect on Rick’s hands and wrists, we’ve set a few guidelines for what he’ll be signing and inscribing:
Personal Inscriptions:
Signed Only, Not Inscribed
Important Note: If you already have a book eligible to be inscribed by Rick, please drop us an email at [email protected] with your name, address, and how you would like the book inscribed. Those who have the regular trade edition on order will automatically receive signed copies. Please note that Rick will not be signing copies for large online retailers or our wholesale accounts.

Marshall Thompson has spent the last two months working on a diorama inspired by Robert McCammon’s 1981 novel The Night Boat. The diorama depicts the raised U-boat and its undead crew working to restore it. You can view several photos of the diorama in the Fan Artwork gallery.
Thanks, Marshall!
