| The Death Trust - David Rollins |
The Death Trust, by best-selling Australian author David Rollins, is packed with action, conspiracy, honor - and an element not usually found in this genre: humor. A lot of humor. Protagonist Major Vin Cooper of Air Force Special Investigations is the kind of loose cannon no commanding officer can completely control - or survive without. Reluctantly paired with Special Agent Anna Masters, Cooper begins his search at the scene of a suspicious crash at Ramstein Air Base in Germany. There they uncover a trail of inexplicable "accidental" deaths that leads from the war-torn streets of Baghdad to sex slavery in Latvia and a marriage that began in the White House Rose Garden and disintegrated into bitterness and infidelity. And with every step they take, Cooper and Masters come closer to the shocking truth about the biggest and most murderous lie of all.

DAVID ROLLINS, AUSTRALIAN BEST-SELLING AUTHOR
SUPPORTS AMERICAN TROUPS THROUGH
OPERATION: BOOK TRACK
THE FIVE AIR FORCE BASE TOUR
A RESOUNDING SUCCESS!
Available September 2007
Publisher: BANTAM BOOKS / ISBN: 978-0-553-80534-5
Hardcover: $24.00
To kick-off the launch of Australian best-selling author David Rollins' first novel in the United States, The Death Trust, Rollins created an exciting and interactive book give-away program for the United States Air Force called Operation: Book Track that was a resounding success! With the support of Bantam Books and AT&T, Operation: Book Track donated 50 hardcover copies of The Death Trust to five Air Force Bases. These 250 books are numbered and will be registered online at the official David Rollins website. The books given to our amazing active-duty service men and women will be registered, read, "logged in," and passed along to other active duty service members as far away from each other as possible through February 2008. Rollins will track the "air miles" each of the books has traveled. Each month, the ten books that have traveled the greatest distances will receive pre-paid AT&T calling cards to be used by active duty service members to reconnect with their friends and family back home.
"Since the protagonist of the book is an Air Force Special Investigator, I thought the men and women serving in America's Air Force might like to have a little fun while they take care of the serious business at hand," says Rollins. "After meeting hundreds of active-duty and civilian Air Force personnel, I'm even happier to be giving something back to the United States military, even if it is in this small way. These men and women are the most intelligent, professional and humorous people you could ever want to meet. This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will share with anyone who will listen."
Having made the best-seller lists in Australia and other countries, The Death Trust is garnering rave reviews with American reviewers, as well, which will become apparent during the launch cycle.
