So tough to find an SF writer that can keep me interested. And as a side note, its really cool that you answer your fans in this way. As soon as Audible gets em I'll buy em!! Are you ever going to do a book signing in NY? Well keep up the great work, I look forward to hearing all of them. So tough to find an SF writer that can keep me interested.

Are you ever going to do a book signing in NY?

No date on the audio for Last Colony, but if I had to guess, I'd say later in the year. The audio for The Ghost Brigades, which immediately follows Old Man's War (but doesn't have John Perry in it), will be out in a couple of months. I would have to agree with your boss there.

If not no worries, if TLC is as good as OMW it will be well worth the wait. I asked my boss if it would be ok if I could read while I drive (UPS driver) and he said no.

You’ll want to read “The Last Colony,” or wait for it to come out in audio.

I can only listen to them from Audible (no time to read) and wish your other books where there also. If you keep it up I'm sure Mr. Card will be trying to get you bumped off. Does the guy in OMW ever catch up to his dead/live wife after the 10 years is over? If not can you email me a short line saything they lived happily ever after? Thanks for wrtting an amazing book.

Do you also have the balls to attack other non-passive religions / beliefs (e.g., Islam) with equal fervor, or does your hunting license limit you to only bagging Christians?
