It’s a comin’- but I’m location scouting in Korea and Vietnam for the next two weeks so organizing print copies is a challenge

I can't wait to get my hands on the paperback version.

Yep getting through it and loving it. Willet catching the big ones off the North Bondi point was a nice local image!

I loved writing that bit. I repurposed and old inside sport piece I wrote about getting crushed maybe twenty years ago

You'd have liked some of the pics that came out after a massive swell a few months back - local chap Shannon Hardaker howling down what was rated as the biggest paddle in wave ever caught of the North Bondi point!

Looking forward to reading it once I finish reading Under the Skin for one of my book clubs. Looking forward to hitchhiking through the Scottish Highlands. 😱

OMG! I downloaded 3.3 and allocated the weekend to read it. I started about an hour ago and realized I needed to start again at 3.1 to get the context. So I'm about twenty minutes into 3.1 and loving it as much as the first time round. Thanks JB!

John Birmingham's avatar

Tony you should have got a free copy. Did you miss it?

Tony Loro's avatar

Usually, the word free makes my spider senses go bonkers.

Too late, my man! Saw it pop up on Smashwords, and smashed that buy button yesterday. Already three chapters in. I completely reread the entire series (up to 3.2) a month ago to get ready for it!

Dude. I am in awe of your dedication

I love your story telling John. I damned near crashed the car (while driving home to Ballarat from Melbourne late one night) while listening to the first Dave V The Monsters audio book. I was laughing so hard, it was difficult to focus on the driving. I made it, obviously, thanks to luck, and the fact that at 2 AM there was nothing else on the road.

John Birmingham's avatar

Please don’t crash the car, Boppster

Done - thanks for the generosity, JB...
