Can anyone provide me with any information on this edition of BROKENCLAW? It looks like it might be...French? Or Spanish? Better yet, can anyone tell me how I can get a copy? I think this is one of the best Brokenclaw covers I've ever seen. Thanks.

Due to the small text on the cover, I am pretty sure that the book is from Netherlands or Belgium.

Looks like "underworld" is spelled "onderwereld." Does this help?

The fact that underworld is spelled "onderwereld", this book might be Dutch, but I'm not 100% sure. Maybe we could ask Friedrich Baxter or M_Balje...

Well, another possibility is a Scandinavian language... It's not German, but it sounds like Dutch to me.

The book is dutch! I'm dutch myself and that book is as dutch as dutch can get! In the most positive sense of the word of course! The text means this:

* 007 tegen de Chinese onderwereld = 007 against the Chinese Underworld
* Gebasseerd op Ian Fleming's schepping = Based on Ian Fleming's creation

That's all!!!

Have a great day!!!
