Harmony exec editor John Glusman bought world rights to The Ariadne 
Objective by Wes Davis via Neil Olson. It tells the story of British 
Special Operations forces on Crete in WWII who, aided by the Greek 
resistance, brazenly kidnapped the German general in command of land 
forces, and stars some of the leading literary lights of the 
day---Evelyn Waugh, Roald Dahl, Lawrence Durrell and Patrick Leigh 
Fermor. Davis served for three years as assistant to the director of 
excavations at Kavousi in eastern Crete, just north of where SOE landed 
supplies for this daring exploit. Publication is slated for 2011.
