Typhon Pact countdown

garoo1980 · October 22 2010, 05:01 AM

I try to not be the total fan boy but I've gone too long without new ST books. Anybody else in the boat and started counting down to Zero Sum Game?

Turtletrekker · October 22 2010, 05:06 AM

I ordered it today.

Thrawn · October 22 2010, 05:55 AM

It's preordered for the Kindle!

DeVario · October 22 2010, 07:03 AM

I have. I'm going to check the nearest Borders and Barnes & Noble stores tomorrow.

Aaron McGuire · October 22 2010, 10:01 AM

I'm quite excited for the whole thing. I'm most interested to see what all the rest of the DS9 relaunch gang has been up to.

Also, according to Amazon.com, USA Today called Zero Sum Game "One of the best resources on proven ways to exercise the healing powers of the mind.*" So there's that too.

i picked it up from borders yesterday. Just a few pages in so far, but loving it. FINALLY new trek fiction of my favorite era.

That perpetual thorn in my side, the Atlantic Ocean, stands between me and the book at the moment

. But I've given my local Forbidden Planet a list of all upcoming Trek books for the next few months, and they're good at getting them in as soon as possible.

Yes, I've been eagerly counting down to Typhon Pact for some time.

I ordered it yesterday on the book depositary (see other thread) and I had an email saying it will be with me in the next few days this morning.

Do new books hit bookstores on a particular day (like DVD's) or do they tend to show up within a more loose timeframe?

Just trying to decide when to check my local Book World (which is as of a few months ago the ONLY bookstore in my city...)

JD · October 22 2010, 05:24 PM

It's not a specific set day, it's usually just around a specific day. For instance Zero Sum Game had a date of the 26th on the websites, but it came out yesterday.

Almost Unique · October 22 2010, 05:26 PM

Well then I know where I'm gonna stop by at 5 o'clock then...

^ Be advised that not all book stores stock new titles at the same time. Just because ZSG is on the shelf in a Borders in one town is no guarantee it will be in stock at another shop down the road.

Almost Unique · October 22 2010, 06:56 PM

Well, I hope it's there today, 'cause I know myself well enough to know that I'll stop by every single day until it arrives.

elaithin · October 22 2010, 08:33 PM

Barnes and Noble here doesn't have it yet

.

Ronald Held · October 22 2010, 09:03 PM

I suppose I will have to check some bookstores to see if it was stocked earlier than the 26th.
