Spoilers Star Trek: Prey Trilogy - general discussion thread

i can't wait to dive in, JJM!
But seriously, I think they usually get one and the others are for the signed copy giveaway on JJM's twitter.
It depends on the publisher, the license, and the contract. Some you get a case (and that tends to be the way on these big licenses); others, you get a handful. On my role-playing stuff, it was just two copies. There are extremely rare occasions where you have to go hunting to get a copy at all; I just completed my own collection of comics I've written by chasing down a small-press book.
I also order books to make sure I'll have enough for shows, publicity, and autographed book requests; both the contributor copies and the ones I ordered have now arrived, and part of today has been spent getting copies to folks who helped. (In the case of books not yet out, like this one, I do take preorders for signed copies like many authors do; I don't ship until the release date, but all the ones coming in today are getting the 50th anniversary date in the inscription.)
And here comes a delivery truck down the road. No idea what this is...!
[EDIT: Aha, it was the Halo book I'm in with James Swallow, Christie Golden, and many other fine authors. Busy week!]
@JJMiller posted a short interview with a local news show on social media:

I've been checking their website almost daily, but the one I frequent doesn't have it in yet. Will keep watching!
In the meantime, though, since it sounds like some of our members are getting copies already, a review thread might be in order. So here you go!
And Star Trek: Prey Book 1 - Hell's Heart leaves spacedock today!
Very excited -- and it's cool also to see the piece that a CBS station worked up for its Sunday Morning show. I love that in addition to the usual clips they were able to bring in Kahless, who's a major character in events. There are also half a dozen podcasts up (so far) -- find the links to them here: http://blog.farawaypress.com/2016/09/qapla-star-trek-prey-book-1-hells-heart.html

Just got (and started) the ebook version this morning. So far, so good
Should we have multiple threads for the books, now that number 1 is out?
Already sorted - just got bumped down to page 2 - http://www.trekbbs.com/threads/prey-book-1-hells-heart-by-john-jackson-miller-review-thread.283960/
I just edited the link in my post above -- the correct video is actually twice as long and has some more fun clips in it. http://www.cbs58.com/clip/12758898/...-continues-series-past-its-golden-anniversary
