WHAT THE DAMN HELL!!! I pre-ordered my copy from bol.com, a Dutch retailer where I order all my TrekLit from. They said delivery on publication date. Just checked, anyone who orders now, will have to wait 2-3 weeks..... They better deliver my copy tomorrow!!
I've had that happen on US editions of UK books on Star Wars, what it meant in those cases is while they had preorders for it, which were honoured, they weren't able to get anymore so it couldn't be ordered via their site. So yeah, the website listing and status can be quite deceptive.
It was the same sometimes when I still got paper books from amazon.de. I got my pre-ordered book on time, but the website said 2-3 weeks. So I wouldn't be too concerned just yet @Mage
Have it preordered for my kindle app can't wait I've never pre-ordered for kindle before, when do the books usually drop?
A very entertaining story. After the first few pages in the other time frame ,I kinda guessed Control's identity. I was right near the end. I wonder if a certain character will eventually be healed(hopefully) and whether another will face any charges or damage to their reputation after being implicated in a major plot. Mr Mack. Is there a follow-up coming? Barring an NDA on the topic.
I haven't read or seen(if this is an episode of Enterprise) this. But I can confidently say(without too much of a spoiler for you I hope) that this ending doesn't invalidate anything Section 31 has done before. It doesn't ret-con any of the previous missions or change any of the characters I have read in other novels or have seen on shows. I admit I haven't watch or read any Enterprise novels. But I expect the same. After you read it.
Actually, what I meant was... Spoiler: Control The ending of Control doesn't mean Section 31 hasn't "really" fallen in TGTMD, does it? It doesn't mean that Section 31 has just gone into hiding or anything like that? I hate the concept of Section 31 with every fiber of my being and I would love to believe that, even after this novel, it's still dead.
Spoiler: Control Based on my interpretation, Section 31 is now gone. If you want exact reasons let me know and I will give everyone of them to you in this spoiler form
Was the reference to Spoiler the USS Franklin in Chapter 33 a nod to Beyond? That chapter was set in the same year it went missing, 2164.
Spoiler I assume legally David can't say it is a reference, but it could be one. The ship isn't described and there is no registry number given, but specifically the year, 2164, is important to a ship with that name
