소설 프로모션에 사용된 버추얼 어스

왜? 버추얼 어스를 프로모션에 사용했냐는 질문에 화려한 영상의 영화나 인터넷에 구독자를 빼앗기고 있어, 책이 영화처럼 흥미롭고 게임처럼 매력적이라는 것을 보여주고 싶었다는 말이 인상적입니다.

I asked the publishers why use Virtual Earth to promote the book? It's
a pretty incredible idea, so I wanted to know the driving force behind
the decision. Per the author himself, Clyde Ford said, "We're losing a
generation of readers to the Internet and to visual means of
entertainment. I wanted to show that a book can be as exciting as a
film and as engaging as a video game. I also wanted to give my readers
the thrill of experiencing an area that I know intimately from two
decades of cruising the Inside Passage aboard my boat. The satellite
imagery is so good that I can actually tag the building where I set the
climactic ending scene from Precious Cargo."
