Hopefully the timing of the hardback release coincides with a scheduled visit to of relatives around Christmas . Having a good book around is a must. The only problem I foresee is reading the whole damn thing in a couple days.

Hey John,

So bloody excited that you have written 3.1. I devoured all of the original books and plan on doing the same with 3.1.

Love all of your books, emails and musings on Gothic.

I am happy to have parted with my dollaryDoos to support your lavish European Vacation.

Dead-tree version coming soon I hope. I don't like killing trees, but I do prefer the dead-tree user experience - a bit like my feelings on dead cows and dead fish.

I was planning on Christmas but I’ll see if I can do it quicker

When I read the first book, Birmo, I read it in about five-six hours.

When will the paperback version of WW3.1 be published? Also did you have to kill off Ike.

I’m going to try get the paperback out in a couple of weeks. And yes, sorry. Ike was always a goner

I bought the combined book a few years ago and, Birmo, when I first read Stalin's Hammer: Rome I read the whole book in about 5-6 hours.

Love the book and the jump of the tech from the up timers integrating into the 50's. Btw any hope of the Dave getting another book?

Thx H. There is a good chance of MOAR DAVE. But first I need to think about how to balance all my projects in the next few years

I'm glad you put them all in one text, as it would be time-consuming to find their proper order. Fwiw, for insights on the world situation I can highly recommend geo-political analyst Peter Zeihan, who has many insightful YT videos about world affairs.

Harry's getting older, Stalin and Ike have something in common, Kolhammer is still a beast but in a good way, the Quiet Room is mentioned, Slim Jim is rich beyond his dreams but it's probably not his fault, flexi-pads are old tech, hell rains from the skies, but also across the skies, thanks to Davidson Industries. And much more! I'm loving it!

I’ve already finished 3.1 in a single day. Great book and can’t wait for 3.2. Would love to read how Eisenhower chose kohlhammer for VP.

John B, don’t dawdle with the next one please! I’m going to have withdrawals. They were devastating in the time between stalin’s hammer and 3.1!

3.1 was great . . . waiting patiently (who am I kidding) for 3.2 or ?

Haha. The second one will be a bit quicker

Is there an ETA for the print version of Axis of Time Reloaded? Amazon doesn't list it yet.

I’m shooting for Xmas, although I’ll check when I get home if I can do it earlier.

Glad to see the saga continuing. But with tens of thousands of US soldiers dead in central Europe I cannot see an uproar over Slim Jim's satellites at this time. And Roy Cohn was sleazy enough in this TL in the 50s without his tendencies being public, don't see him as a power broker in the 3.1

...the plan is coming together... (steeples fingers).

It is. It was devised by a Scottish physicist named Parsons, so I call it "The Alan Parsons Project".
