It’s like Christmas in September!

I can’t begin to describe how excited I am this has dropped on to my Kindle…(not sure how I’m going to get you to autograph this one. Sharpie on the kindle cover perhaps??)

Thanks JB and well done for cracking this one out.

JB, I stayed up all night to read until my eyes burned. Then finished today. So much to think over and piece together.

First of all, outstanding piece of work.

OUT-FUCKING-STANDING!

This has been like a good long drink of cool water to a man who has been stumbling through the desert.

The only times i had trouble visualizing things was when talking about theatre-level stuff. Maps would help.

Cannot wait for WW3.2

Thanks Sarge. Go drop me a review at the Beast and I’ll get right on it.

Finished. I needed no time to get into the novel, after more then a decade the characters were like old lost friends. Well done JB.

Fab story, so good it made me work out after it how to activate % complete on my kindle. Read it on a trip to Trieste, which seemed kind of appropriate...

That was such good fun to read!!

Fell into the conundrum of wishing I hadn’t read it, but instead waited for the full series to drop and read altogether.. book binge!!!

Thanks. No way I'm waiting that long so the Beast of Bezos it is :) Hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday.

Any idea when this will be available on the Kobo store?

Bezos gets enough of my bucks. Gotta share the love 😁

Is this available in epub?

John Birmingham's avatar

It will be, yes. Economics forces me to give it Bezos exclusively for three months. His algo treats Kindle Unlimited titles much more kindly than those released widely. But the week before Christmas I’ll break it out of KU Jail and release it everywhere

JB is it OK to recommend a software ebook manager that could help?
