Jeez peeps, perhaps hold back on the whinging about the lack of printed or ebook versions, and let everyone enjoy the release of the final book in the trilogy?

The second and third books are still under contract with Audible, but printed and ebook versions will come eventually. JB has already made it clear that he's holding off on a printed version until he can do an omnibus version of all three books so it's cheaper for y'all. Have a bit of patience.

So... I post this funny meme that has a pic of Fauci with:

"Cockwomble: A person, usually male, prone to making outrageously stupid statements and/or inappropriate behavior while generally having a very high opinion of his own wisdom and importance."

I look it up and it seems like it's a new word just invented recently and then....

I just finished "The Cruel Stars" last Friday - which says you first published in 2019!

Now I feel so ignorant....

Haha (which has only two syllables as opposed to lol which has three and means.... "haha").

I have just finished this and it was not so much an audio book but an old school radio play. The tone and cadence of Degas added so much more to your words John, of which you should be proud. Fricking loved it.

Thanks JB - while my dear-old-blind dad is a big fan of audible, as a deaf bugger I’m stuck with, ahem, err, text novels. Any way you can see your way to hear my plea for ... an e-book version?

Terrific John. You finished a series. Too bad I can't see it. I can only listen. I get contracts, but to not have a version with words printed on paper or squiggly lines on a screen is just horrible. I can't listen to audio books (much as I wish I could) so that leaves me with print and there is no "print" of the second and third books. Eesh.

1 1/2 years later, still only audible. Not by me (listening does not fit my habits). I think I'll forget about King Birmo until I can read it in print.

Over and a half years is the contracted exclusivity period. It ends in early September.

Just finished listening to all three audio books in 5 days only stopped for work, lectures and exams. Signed up on here just to say wow! Amazing story, characters, narration and more importantly for me pace. Gripped me from book one all the way to the end of book three.

I'll hold my hands up and say I havent read or listened to any other work by you but that will surely change shortly. Well done mate! or in Wales 'butt' I look forward to discovering more of your work.
