I liked The God Engines very much, so I recommended it to a friend (a knowlegeable SF fan). After he finished, I bet him a case of beer that I could give him a complete review and analysis of the book in 2 words. I am happy to say that he was honorable enough to deliver the Labatt Blue personally.

SOULENT GREEN.

Thanks for a great story.

(Insert shameless plug for favorite bookstore) Just so you know, Dreamhaven in Minneapolis has some in stock as well. That’s where I got mine on Wednesday.

@16 you know you can just order from Subterranean and … er, pay the shipping, and then pay the import duty and the post-office rip-off fee for paying your duty. Which, um, may have nearly doubled the price of the book.

But, hey, I got a copy! And it’s great! I loved it! I just wish there was more of it :-)

The last I was there Mysterious Galaxy had two copies left. So if you’re in San Diego you might get lucky.

They had three copies, until I bought one. A dark and disturbing tale. I’m starting to think a certain deity got a bit beyond himself when he enslaved Loki (unless he made an even worse mistake by enslaving Wotan Treacherous :) .

John, I do have a question about TGD. Have you read Harry Turtledove’s Between the Rivers?

I got mine a while back. My girlfriend ordered directly from Subterranian. I read it in one sitting. Not at all what I was expecting it to be, which is good. I really liked it.

I cancelled my pre-order and re-ordered on amazon. This moved up my shipdate from mar 11 to feb 12.

Hmm. Hmm. Just had a read over on the link to the first chapter. Very cool. Until I finish my MBA my reading time is essentially nil, but this has definitely earned a slot in my post-MBA reading list. Best of luck with it.

Not yet. Someone over there is looking at it, no offer from them yet (but no rejection, either).

Any news on UK availability?
