DF Books / Just finished reading Peace Talks
« on: July 15, 2020, 09:47:53 AM »
Just finished "Peace Talks".
Keeping  in the no spoilers zone warnings: OY VEY!  After reading it  I feel  like I ran a marathon... dragging Mouse on a wagon behind me.  I recommend a good bit of lay down afterwards.

I have the same issue living in Tasmania which is at the end of a very Looooooong supply chain.  So I bought the book twice. Once as ebook from Amazon and I pre ordered dead tree from my local bookstore as it is the LAST general bookstore in my city and I want to keep them in business. Up side I get to read it on my phone immediately and two I keep the collection going that I have from Storm Front on. Jim also gets paid twice. The same thing will happen when Battle Ground drops.

So according to Jim's tweet here https://twitter.com/longshotauthor/status/552306924373704704 there is  a tentative release date for the German edition and when I checked the amazon UK site they had a tentative release date also. The weird thing is Amazon.com doesn't. But looking at those tentative dates I would say start looking seriously for pre-order info mid February.

Unfortunately RL scheduling conflicts arose and BH and I are unable to attend  :'(   I think we are going to have to get a virtual signed "Skin Game" instead of having  "Sue-In-A-Box" signed.

Have to discuss with  BH but my plan is to get "Sue In a Box!" signed.  We went to ChiCon 7 and while there we also went to see Sue!  At the time the Museum Shop was selling a special plush T-Rex in a crate. BH and I looked at each and said, "Sue in a Box!"  I have to investigate getting over to Melbourne from Tassie since we are going to LonCon3 in August and that comes first as far as expenses.

Another idea take a pic of all your Dresden books and have him sign that.

Are any of them called Tobermory?

Ahh the memories.. but Saki was in error.. no way would a true speaker have let on he understood or even spoken to  a human he couldn't control. My opinion from what I know of our overlords.

 Any mention of a publication date or is that still in scheduling hands?

I most sincerely hope he is coming to OZ, I may have to go solo for a day trip to Melbourne to get him to sign "Sue In a Box".

Does this apply only to human body parts (like the 7 laws)?

I was thinking more on the order of a Sue replica skull. Not that I am going to be anywhere in the northern hemisphere soon but it is a thought. Pity his schedule and travel time conflicts, Worldcon 68/Aussiecon 4 would be a googlplex of awesome.
