Advance Praise for
The Dakota Cipher
"Fast, fun and full of surprises, Dietrich's rollicking third Ethan Gage escapade (after The Rosetta Key) takes the expatriate American diplomat and soldier-of-fortune home to investigate the Louisiana territory, preceding Lewis and Clark, for Napoleon, who claims it was secretly sold back to France ... The tale twists and turns like a spitted serpent, but Dietrich shows his sure hand as a storyteller, leavening a tale rich in intrigue and impressive historic detail with abundant wit and humor."
--Publisher's Weekly (starred review)
�William Dietrich is a born stylist, moving characters around on an historical chessboard with the assured hand of a master novelist firing on all cylinders. Ethan Gage is a wiry, battle-scarred hero, with great decency, who rings absolutely true. And The Dakota Cipher is a supple, elegant thriller that carries the reader triumphantly from one exciting climax to the next.�
--Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The Venetian Betrayal.
�William Dietrich�s The Dakota Cipher should be read by anyone who loves adventure at its grandest, or humor both smart and sharp, or romance with a wild heart. For that matter, why even qualify it? The novel should simply be read by everyone!�
--James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Oracle.

The Rosetta Key now in paperback!
Dear Readers,
The Rosetta Key is now available in paperback! And the next Ethan Gage adventure, The Dakota Cipher, is coming March 24!
The Dakota Cipher, the third tale about American Ethan Gage, takes the wayward hero from the battlefields of Italy and chateaus of France to the infant United States of 1801. Newly-elected Thomas Jefferson sends Ethan to the far frontier, asking him to keep an eye out for woolly mammoths � and ancient relics that could affect North American empire.
The American sharpshooter, gambler, electrician and prot�g� of the late Benjamin Franklin has been pressed into service by Napoleon Bonaparte as diplomat, spy and envoy. The fact that Ethan is dallying with Bonaparte�s married sister gives even more impetus to the idea of packing our hero off to the raw capital of Washington, D.C. An eccentric Norwegian has enlisted a reluctant Gage in a search for mythic Norse explorers, and his own talent for trouble assures he�ll meet plenty of wrong people along the way. Hang on for storm, stampede and a titled temptress, plus enough lightning to make your hair stand on end.
Ethan Gage�s first adventures, Napoleon�s Pyramids and The Rosetta Key, have sold into 28 languages and won fans worldwide. His new journey takes him from New York and Washington across the Great Lakes to the raw wilderness of the upper Midwest. And for those readers wondering about Astiza, yes, she�ll be back and in a surprising way � but not until the fourth book in the series!
