    It has been 2 years since Chris last chatted to international bestselling author Daniel Kraus, and boy is there a lot to catch up on!Daniel is back to talk about his upcoming new release ANGEL DOWN as well as the success of WHALEFALL, including being on the set of the new movie adaptation currently in the works, starring none other than Josh Brolin.ANGEL DOWN synopsis:Private Cyril Bagger has managed to survive the unspeakable horrors of the Great War through his wits and deception, swindling fellow soldiers at every opportunity. But his survival instincts are put to the ultimate test when he and four other grunts are given a deadly venture into the perilous No Man’s Land to euthanize a wounded comrade.What they find amid the ruined battlefield, however, is not a man in need of mercy but a fallen angel, seemingly struck down by artillery fire. This celestial being may hold the key to ending the brutal conflict, but only if the soldiers can suppress their individual desires and work together. As jealousy, greed, and paranoia take hold, the group is torn apart by their inner demons, threatening to turn their angelic encounter into a descent into hell.Angel Down plunges you into the heart of World War I and weaves a polyphonic tale of survival, supernatural wonder, and moral conflict.ANGEL DOWN is released on 29th July 2025, and will be available to order from all major retailers and stockists.Be sure to check out Daniel's website and Instagram for all his latest news and updates:Website: www.danielkraus.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/kraus_author#DeadMenTalk #podcast #interview #DanielKraus
