Me too. I'm probably most excited for SL, I love alternate universe stories.
 
^I was just going to ask something similar. I saw The Delta Anomaly at Borders yesterday. Almost used my coupon on it, but decided on Echoes and Refractions instead.
 
Picked up and started reading Seize the Fire last week. Rough Beasts of Empire is next. Can't wait!
 
Can't wait for DRGIII's Rough Beasts, but have still not picked up Seize the Fire as yet. My interest in the Titan novels have waned lately, but i'll probably still get it as I'm interested in the Typhon Pact novels...
 
I'm fuming because it wasn't until I got Nightshade home that I realised I'd read it before - it was a reprint with a different cover image.

Well, this is fascinating, in a good way. I found "Shattered Light" today, in a local Aussie bookstore chain, for a stickered price of $19.95. Now, I know our $ has parity with the US$ at the moment, but Aussies have always had to pay a premium airmail price at a specialist bookshop to get ST novels during the month of US printing. Trade paperbacks can cost in the $25.00-32.00 range. Hardcovers are $32.00-50.00, or thereabouts.

The regular chain stores have always had to wait for the Simon & Schuster sea freighted stock, adding two months for UK and three months for Australia. S&S Aust. started importing airfreight ST books in the lead-up to JJ's movie, and it seems they still are. Not many units per shop, but great to see the support from S&S. Either that, or they've abandoned sea freight as an option?

Now, this shop today only had the one copy of "Shattered Light". Perhaps they'd ordered a few and only one was left (they seem to regularly order two or three of each title), but it's Galaxy that usually gets in a bulk airfreight supply (at least 30 at airfreight price and a top-up at a cheaper amount a few months later). Galaxy has yet to receive any copies of this book.

$AU20.00 for a trade, with three stories inside, in the month of US release, is excellent value!
 
^ that is excellent value! I might see if I can find the book in the next week or so.

Since when have we needed to wait two months for new Trek books here in Blighty? In can be rather spotty, but it varies between just under, to just over a month.

Sorry, I'm remembering wrongly, and I've been away and unable to respond/correct.

I was thinking it was two months delay for UK and three for Australia. So it must have been one month for UK and two months for Australia. (But certainly, some sea freight to Oz did used to take the full three months.) The "Star Trek Magazine" book reviews and "upcoming" list used to (still do?) give three dates of release for each Pocket title: USA (date of publication); UK; and Australasia. (And poor ol' New Zealand used to get their supply from the S&S Australian shipment, so they waited even longer.)

I never waited the two months in Australia, depending instead on Galaxy's air-freighted import batch. But it seems Oz shops are all getting S&S airmailed shipments now.

That same price differential for the new ST trades was present at Galaxy yesterday, too. Must be to do with our Aussie dollar reaching parity with the US dollar!

BTW, "Rough Beasts of Empire" also arrived at Galaxy yesterday. Thanks so much to David R. George III for my credit in the Acknowledgments. What a buzz!
 
Hehehe. An elderly American friend once did an interview with me for a project I was working on, and I followed it up with a delivery of flowers to say 'thank you'. This left her in a terrible dilemma because she was a follower of Emily Post's rules of etiquette, and you're not supposed to say 'thank you' for being thanked - but she wanted to let me know they'd arrived. ;)
