The background picture is a contemporary picture of Kuching in Borneo, where the story is set. The sword featured is a kris. I'll be posting more about those soon.
'The White Rajah' is officially republished next month, but it looks like it should be available on Amazon in the next day or two. I'll let you know.
I'm trying to find a way to say to a married man "I am drooling over that sword" without being WILDLY inappropriate. But: yeah. The whole design is excellent and interesting, and the pattern welded blade very much draws your eye in. It's ingenious and lovely!
