    I ordered this book a loooong time ago. Everyone starting getting theirs so I tried to check on my order status and B&N said I had been inactive for too long and had to reset my password. I get in and check and it shows no orders for the past year. I thought well hell maybe I imagined the whole thing so I ordered another last night (even cheaper now and still signed copies left). Came home today and the first one was sitting there waiting on me. The shipping notification came in five minutes ago. LOL I guess I'll have a really special signed reading copy now.


    EDIT: and I do agree it is a lovely trade edition

    It is a beauty for a trade edition. And that signature looks like it belongs on the side of a vintage Thunderbird. I hope I like the story but this was a great purchase already.

    The Suntup news was mentioned as an offhand comment in a post by Paul on TDT.org. He has since teased that he's sourcing rusty chains for an upcoming edition of an unannounced book.

    Wasn’t me, either, as I’m just now seeing this. Oh well, I’ll just need to be content with my signed trade. Based on comments here by those who have read it, that’s probably just as well.

    I saw this post as well. Curious, but almost now trying to NOT jump on the Suntup train so I don't have to declare bankruptcy. Of course I'm curious and I'm hoping that one of these days a Suntup production will land directly in my wheelhouse so that I can justify the limited edition price tag.

    Having read the book and already owing the Audible Audio and a signed trade edition I have already invested more than it was worth to me. Hope others enjoy the story more than I did. My least favorite Harris novel.

Otherwise someone else is going to have to someone else step up to the plate and I'm still feeling the sting from my last big purchase. (Side note: I am willing to take on this role if Jeff steps down, but I will need a couch to crash on...)
