Jasper Kent/Twelve video interview

Jasper Kent has released a short video where he talks a bit about his novel Twelve (one of my anticipated reads for 2009) and its influences. I particularly like the fact that Twelve is the first novel of a quintet, that will cover a period of over 100 years from the Napoleonic war to the First World War. And I'm looking forward to finding out which character it is that survives to the last book...given the time-span involved, it's clearly not a human! ;)

I've almost finished reading Twelve, and will have a review up shortly. In the meantime, check out the video:
