    Signed.
    Is there any chance this book will be printed again?

    Audio would be great. Definitely needs a reprint.

    Hey Andrew Robinson! I'm an audiobook narrator! I'll be happy to narrate your book! :)

    Andy is an actor and I bet he wants to record his own work.

    As well he should. I'd pay to have that.

    Indeed. The ebook is the only Star Trek novel I've read in year and years. But I'd far prefer a physical copy. I just like my books that way.

    A hardcover reprint would be lovely.

    Same, I gave in finally and bought the ebook because it was impossible to find in physical form at a decent price. For such a popular book I was a bit surprised it was never reprinted.

    Okay, just discovered something very weird/coincidental. Robert Petkoff (below left), narrator of most of the current unabridged Star Trek audios, once played young Liberace - to Andrew J Robinson's adult Liberace in the 1988 telemovie about the famous pianist.

    Would be up for Andrew Robinson reading an audio version of his book.

    On this Sid City video, Robinson says he is thinking about doing the audio book for free, as apparently there is no corporate interest in him doing it. He is aware of the petition. It's in the second half of this video:

    I just saw a message from Sid City, official fansite of Alexander Siddig:

    Andrew J. Robinson just announced to a convention that Simon & Schuster Audio will be going ahead with this.

    I like to think we made a small contribution to making this happen!

    My question to Andy at an Australian convention resulted in him approaching Pocket Books about turning his "letters from a plain and simple tailor" (written for conventions when he worried that no one in the audience would ask questions) into the novel, "A Stitch in Time". ;)

    All right then, I'll keep the Audible membership running a bit longer.
