LONDON -- A publisher says it will release a book on the Chilean mine rescue next year.
Transworld Publishers says Jonathan Franklin, an investigative journalist who reports from Chile for The Guardian, a British newspaper, will write the book.
It says the book will "capture the compelling human drama" of the rescue of 33 miners trapped underground for more than two months. It will be simply titled "The 33."

It said Franklin has lived in Chile for 16 years.
