DTI: Watching the Clock

[Johnhead99]

I am really quite excited for this novel. While I read everything ST related, I really only get excited for Voyager Novels and a handfull of randoms. This appears to be one of those randoms.

I hope it doesn't suck.

So that's what Christopher sounds like. I'm glad to hear the time travel info from Indistinguishable from Magic is taken into account. Now I'm looking forward to this book even more.

If I didn't know any better, I would have thought an older man was speaking. It would be a good radio voice methinks.

Great interview, Christopher.

Thanks for sharing the interview link. I haven't listened to it yet but will tonight. I'm looking forward to this one. I usually like your books.

I was glad too see that on UK Amazon the Kindle edition (26th April £3.99) is, for once, a bit cheaper than the paper edition( 23rd June £5.24). Mad release date differences, though. I know that you probably don't have anything to do with that but I always wonder what goes through their minds. Hope they stick to the release date.

Thanks again.

I'm at work at the moment, but I'm looking forward to listening to the interview when I get home later tonight. I can't wait for this book! I haven't been very excited about the Trek novel line since around 2008 or so, but now I'm getting both Christopher and time travel in one volume! Fantastic.

I also listened to the interview and am really looking forward to the book, even more than I was.

Christopher and I don't always agree politically on many subjects (or I should say, I find myself disagreeing with him on a number of issues), but I've always found his books to be worthwhile reads. Hopefully this will be out just as I get done with IFM.

I've been waiting for the UK Kindle version to pop up so now that's gone on pre-order

Count me in as another UKer waiting to get his hands on Watching the Clock. Despite being in the UK, I managed to order a paperback copy of Indistinguishable from Magic two months before it was meant to be published in the UK.

I look forward to having similar success with this one. I don't think there has been a work by Christopher L. Bennett that I haven't enjoyed or has make me think.

 

[Adam Holmberg]

Christopher, I forgot to ask...is 10 author copies the standard (I counted, with the one you put on yourself, there being ten free copies)?

Forgive me for being curious

 

[Christopher]

^It seems to vary, in my experience. I think we're contractually guaranteed ten, but there have been times when I've gotten a lot more. Not sure whether that was due to editorial preference or what.

I ended up getting a ton of copies of Ex Machina because they initially had my address wrong or something and the first couple of shipments got returned, and when I eventually got to Shore Leave, Marco just gave me those shipments and a bunch of extras to make up for the delay.

Sweet! Thanks for the heads up, I'm gonna go add it to my wishlist right now.
I'm surprised no one has found this yet. It does seem to be about the time of the month it starts to pop up.

 

[timothy]

I allways dig around the star trek section on my nook for new release's every other week . I saw this and had to post it . also it looks like star trek for spanish speaking peoples will be getting destiny book 1 in spanish . no new cover though.

 

[Defcon]

I'm surprised no one has found this yet.

Got it yesterday. (Blind Man's Bluff, too.)

 

[hbquikcomjamesl]

I await it with a worm on my tongue. (i.e., "baited" breath)

Sorry, but the expression is actually bated breath, meaning held back (related to "abate"). Nice try, though.

 

[timothy]

peter david's blind man's bluff is not yet aviable on the nook yet . damn !!




when that comes out after I have finished all the tng relaunch and dti I will go onto ds9 and the complete new frontier seires and then titan and so forth and so on. that's this year's reading . schedual

So, quick question Christopher...is it ok to read this book as a stand alone, or will it spoil recent events? I have read Indistinguishable from Magic and missed a few of the references but otherwise it was ok. Other than that, I'm caught up through "Death in Winter".

Thanks.

It's mostly a standalone (well, sort of, since it ties into multiple Trek time-travel tales), but it does refer to the events of Destiny and the formation of the Typhon Pact, and there is a passing allusion to an event from the end of Rough Beasts of Empire. But it takes place before the rest of the Typhon Pact novels and IFM.
