The Filberg Consortium is the second book in The Falcon File series by Daniel Wyatt. The first title in the trilogy is The Fuerhermaster, and the third is Foo Fighters, which will be published in June. The Filberg Consortium is available now for purchase and download from most eBook retailers, especially those on the right. A free sample is also available. Here is the blurb:

It is late 1941. America has yet to enter the war. A German agent secretly lands in Great Britain with orders from Gestapo chief Heinrich Himmler and financed by I.S. Filberg, the huge German industrial cartel, to identify and kill the prisoner called Rudolf Hess. Meanwhile, in London, American agent Wesley Hollinger discovers a crucial missing section to the first Hess peace papers found near the crash site in Scotland. The paperwork itemizes sensitive Wall Street loans to Nazi war factories — deals arranged by I.S. Filberg. Hollinger doesn’t know who to turn to — his adopted England or his home country. And thousands of miles away in the Pacific a heavily-armed Japanese Task Force is heading towards Pearl Harbor… The Filberg Consortium is the second book in the Falcon File series. The first book is The Fuerhermaster and the third book is Foo Fighters.

eBookAd.com, one of the first eBookstores, appears to be no longer trading. Therefore, our titles will no longer be available from them. It happened in April but I thought I would wait to see if they came back before making this announcement.

If this is the end, then it is a real shame. They had one of the best and easiest to use interfaces, and books appeared immediately after uploading them. Unfortunately, they appear to owe quite a few publishers (including Mushroom eBooks) quite a lot of money. For months it has been very difficult to get paid by them. For several months things had not been going well with them, but we decided to stay with them in the hope that they would weather the storm. Alas, it now seems that we should have withdrawn our books from sale at eBookAd a couple of months ago. The problems that some publishers had with getting paid has been documented on the Teleread blog.

Of course, eBookAd’s customers will also lose out. They can no longer access their online bookshelf, so will no longer be able to re-download their purchases. If you have bought any Mushroom eBooks titles through eBookAd, and no longer have access to them, please forward your proof of purchase/receipt to ebookad@mushroom-ebooks.com together with the format you prefer, and I will send you the book as an email attachment.

If I hear anything more, I will keep you posted on this blog.
