THE SNAKE STRIKES!
Airship 27 Productions is proud to present the latest pulp
thriller by Oklahoma
based, award winning writer, Michael Vance: SNAKE
: NEST OF VIPERS!
In the last few years of World War II, a group of brave
Germans who opposed Hitler and his Third Reich orchestrated an underground
movement that worked from within to defeat the Nazis. These brave men and women were constantly at
risk being hunted by the ruthless Gestapo.
Their fate, if captured, was agonizing torture and death. Still they struggled on.
Six years later, in the back alleys of New York’s Bowery district, a mysterious
masked avenger calling herself the Snake appears. She recruits denizens of the street to be her
agents and begins a ruthless campaign against organized crime. Who is she and what is her connection to the
events in Berlin
prior to the collapse of the Third Reich?
“Michael Vance is one of the finest genre writers working
today,” says Airship 27 Productions Managing Editor, Ron Fortier. “His Weird Horror Tales trilogy received
critical acclaim and last year we published his YOUNG NEMO & THE BLACK KNIGHTS, a novelization of his own
comicbook series. This time he has
uncovered a lost comicbook nugget and what he has done with it is going to
excite a whole lot of people.”
Based on a six-page synopsis by legendary comics writer,
Richard Hughes, author Michael Vance has woven a thrilling, fast paced
adventure that will keep readers guessing and on the edge of their seats from
start to finish. You’ve never met a character
like the Snake. She’s sexy. She maybe crazy. But she is most of all, deadly!
SNAKE : NEST OF VIPERS
features a stunning cover by comicbook and pin-up star, Ted Hammond with
interior illustrations by newcomer Greg Keyzer with book design by Rob Davis.

There is a Richard Hughes connection from ACG comics? Love his work!
ReplyDeleteThere sure is, ripskeleton. Hughes unpublished synopsis (and how Roy Thomas and I found it) is published in the back of Snake. Ron thinks it was probably written in the 1950s (as do I) because Hughes' publisher was putting pressure on him to write 'like the EC comic books'.
ReplyDeleteI just finished The Snake and really enjoyed it! However I can not seem to find the original synopsis in the book. Was it not included in the finished novel?
DeleteYes, the synopsis is in the back. Would you be willing to post your comments onSnake on Amazon and Barnes and Nobel? I would really appreciate it. Michael Vance
DeleteI just checked, and the publisher left the original synopsis out. Sorry.
DeletePosted a review to amazon this morning. It's the first review I ever posted on Amazon. :)
DeleteCoo, Thanks! The book looks really good and the Hughes connection makes it even more interesting!
