INCEPTION Hits the Shelves

[Allyn Gibson]

I've looked for Inception no luck so far. I'll just order it online it's easier to get that way.

I found ten copies in my local Borders earlier this week.

Sadly, they didn't have what I really wanted, the new issue of Mojo.

But it's out there! If Borders, with all their financial wonkiness, can have the book, it's there to be found.

Unfortunately my local Barnes&Noble has less StarTrek books on the shelves every time I go to visit the bookstore. It's been difficult to find the new books you have to special order them. i had to to special order The Never ending Sacrifice and Enterprise Beneath the Raptor's wing. They have more Star wars novels than Startrek books nowdays.

There's probably more Star Wars novels in print still - the backlist of adult fiction is all still in-print.

For those who've had a chance to read it, does Inception incorporate any elements from the J.J. Abrams movie?

No.

Yeah, it has Spock and Kirk in it.

The eBook was released today.

And the ePub is awful. I'm spending some time to clean up the really poor CCS. For example, there are embedded fonts that aren't even setup correctly to be used. And there are font families specified that have nothing to do with anything. Font sizes are crazy and so are some of the margins. It's just a real mess. And the chapter headers are not setup correctly either. I know I'll get it fixed. But I should not have to do so much work.

That's really odd. The Kindle book is fine; a couple errors, but nothing egregious. Though, as with all their Kindle releases for the last 8 months or so, it doesn't have a table of contents. I wonder why that keeps happening.

It's not just the Kindle version, the Mobipocket version also lacks a ToC. And Synthesis bugged me big time. It kept using Ra-Havreii and RaHavreii.

Reading it now.

Nice, readable font. Thank, you Pocket. I wonder if they are assuming TOS fans are all older and need an easier font?

 

[Thrawn]

No, it's just a short book, wordcount-wise.

Picked up my copy this weekend!

No.

It's just that the blurb for the book said that it combines the best of the TV series and the movie.

Not surprising that a promotional blurb would try to play up a connection to a hit movie even if there really wasn't one. Presumably that just means that, like the movie, Inception takes place early in the careers of Kirk and Spock.

Reading it now.

Nice, readable font.

yeah, I'll say. I haven't seen a Trek book with a font that large in a long time.

They must have had to stretch to make it hit 300 pages.

 

[Thrawn]

On the Kindle, obviously, the font size is user-set, and Inception is definitely shorter in terms of number of words than any Trek book released since I got my Kindle last March. I've also bought a ton of backlist books, and the only ones shorter were the 3 titles in the DS9: Rebels trilogy. Every other Trek book I have is longer. (Though I bought Captain's Table and Double Helix as omnibuses, so it's possible individual entries there would be shorter, too.)

But yeah, it's pretty short

It's worth it, though, I think; it's a tiny little story, but a worthwhile and enlightening one.

 

[Therin of Andor]

the only ones shorter were the 3 titles in the DS9: Rebels trilogy.

Which seemed interminable.

 

[Corran Horn]

Finished it. It's...ok. It's harmless. Not sure what else there is to say about it.

 

[Christopher]

It's harmless. Not sure what else there is to say about it.

Not even "Mostly harmless?"

I got my hands on this earlier today, but I want to finish Sorrows of Empire and read Under the Raptor's Wing before I read it.

Inception is really short. It's only 300 pages and the text is twice the size of DRG3's . You'd probably blow right through it.

 

[JD]

Yeah, but I've been planning on reading BTRW for quite a while now. Inception will be my next Trek book once I finish it.
