We’re giving 10 book groups the chance to win up to 10 advance copies of the book, provided that they can give us their feedback on it by Friday, February 28th. Enter here by Monday, November 18th at noon ET.

We also are spotlighting Carol Fitzgerald's "Bookreporter Talks To" interview with Nelson DeMille and his son, Alex DeMille, whose new thriller, THE DESERTER, is now in stores and will be a Bets On selection. Carol loved talking to them about their collaboration --- it’s been 40 years since Nelson collaborated with another author --- and how they tackled new characters and the Venezuelan location for the book. Click here to watch the interview and here to listen to the podcast.

Now it's time for a special offer! To celebrate the release of THE DESERTER, we are giving away two signed copies of the book. Enter to win one by commenting on our YouTube video interview by Friday, November 1st at 11:59pm ET. We will reach out to the winners.

1) What intrigues you the most about reading THE DESERTER?
2) Where is the next book in their Scott Brodie and Maggie Taylor series set?
3) Which character will be featured in Nelson DeMille's next book?
