I’ve waited years for a limited of THE PINES...it’s a shame I can’t see this as a must-buy.

I hear you. Do I want to spend $65 for a book that’s going to be unreadable when I have a very nice paperback copy with very few typos that I paid $7 for

The site is back up now, and I placed my order for Pines. I tried doing it earlier and the site died. I wasn't super worried since the newsletter did say pre-orders would be available on the 31st . . .

Be careful if you surf over there....

Just placed my preorder for the Crouch and the Garton books. Am excited for these titles and hope that Gauntlet/Borderlands does them well!

I'm in on the Pines Trilogy for sure. Other than the Bradbury/Matheson titles, I haven't been a huge Fan of Gauntlet and the last set I bought was a big disappointment, The Beardless Warriors/Brothers in Arms, just not well done. I kept it, but I should have sent it back.....So fingers crossed.

I'd like to support Gauntlet, but I've been disappointed with everything I've ordered over the past few years. I think the last books I was happy with were the Repairman Jack series, which were what I'd expect for the price.

I've read the entire PINES trilogy, as well as a six or eight of his other novels and two short-story collections. His work is compulsively readable...he has a way of sustaining tension and narrative thrust and immersing the reader in the drama that's rather remarkable. I also watched the TV series, but aside from some decent acting, the script was largely a letdown and had little of the Crouch magic dust on it. It wasn't a rating bonanza, as I recall, so I doubt it's bolstered acclaim for the books, but fortunately the books are strong enough to stand on their own and withstand the generally failed attempt to film them. I'm very excited at the prospect of the trilogy, and while I do have concerns about how the final product will appear, my desire for a signed/limited of this terrific trilogy is so strong and has been in place for so long that I'm willing just to gamble for the first volume, and hope that what I see reassures me to order the second and third volumes.
Hope that helps.
