I just did a search on Amazon, and HFQ is showing up with a pub date of September 8, 2015. No cover art yet, but you Safehold junkies will be getting a fix two month earlier than first thought, if Amazon is telling the truth! :lol:

Now that is a phrase that I have not heard before. I like it.

Yes, other posters pointed this out several weeks ago. Someone also said that MacMillan has changed it on their schedule, too, but I have been unable to find a MacMillan publishing schedule.

Ordered. Wish I could send RFC that money and get an ARC to go with it.

So what use would snippets be then? You'd be so bored and then you'd be after RFC for snippets of his NEXT book and the rest of us would get all confused about what you were commenting on!

Anticipation is the key, we watch th e s l o w d r i p o f s n i pp e t s a ...

(Curses - artistic effects of stretched spacing destroyed by miserable software. Just to save that bandwidth, I guess! So much for e.e.cummings and Alfie Bester effects!)

Still 244 days before the great quivering!

So since the publication date has been moved up 2 months, that means 2 months less of snippets. Since we get one about every 10 days, that means we need 6 bonus snippets to make up for this, right? :lol:

Ordered.

As much as I would love an ARC, and totaly not say no to one. I must say this snippet thing is fantastic. Otherwise I would read the entire book in a day and be chomping at the bit even longer.

I like DW, but not to the extent of cutting into my budget. The ones I own are from used book stores. For the rest, someone at the Jamestown library really likes them. The last time checked, they had four I've not even cracked yet (early in the starfire series). Favorites are Honorverse and Safehold series, since I like innovations.

Now if the big shots of reality would only realize just how valuable innovations are . . .. :x I point out to youngsters that if we didn't have the knowledge and understanding, people like us couldn't afford (almost anything except raw nature.) ;) In the long run, it helps the BS descendant's also. Even Roman emperors had to live with smoke holes, the chimney was invented in the Dark Ages.
