Spoilers TNG: The Body Electric by David Mack Review Thread

[Relayer1]

Amazon UK just cancelled my preorder stating the release has been cancelled ! They keep doing this - did it with Silent Weapons and the last DTI release.

It's annoying - any change in the due date and they take it as cancelled...

Bol.com is being odd aswell. Usually the release-date for new Trek novels is added to the book 3 weeks in advance, sometimes even more. Now, all it still says is 'not yet released'. Can't even pre-order.

After Amazon UK cancelled three of my orders, I switched to www.bookdepository.co.uk. They haven't let me down yet.

Oooh...

Let’s just say that more than one long-lost fan-favorite character is returned to the Star Trek literary universe by this novel.

We know of Wesley... anyone know (or have guesses about) who else may return? Hopefully I don't have to wait long to get my hands on this one and find out!

Also, "returning" people to Treklit isn't the usual way David Mack plays things... /obligatory "David Mack kills people" joke

The Rama comparison in that self-interview is super-exciting, I love artifact stories.

Thanks for the info Dave. I have good news on this subject.

I had The Body Electric, downloaded on my Kindle when I got up this morning Looks like they beat the Christmas rush

Edit: Amazon's new release date is December 20th! Looks like Dave made a phone call. http://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Gen...2640&sr=8-1&keywords=the+body+electric+kindle

Anytime I get some much Trek Lit news/info from you guys it is about time I return the favor

Guess they wanted it released before the end of the world.

Finished it, thought it was the weakest of the three. There's nothing bad about it as such but neither the main threat or the Fellowship plotline really engaged me. A shame after a strong first two books.

I'm sure others will like it but it wasn't for me.

 

[Ronald Held]

Mine just appeared, expect to start it by the weekend.

 

[bbailey861]

Still showing release for 26 Dec in Canada.

No, they had to release it now because it actually will trigger the end of the world. The Angel of Death's greatest feat.

Thanks - just ordered it from the 'Book Suppository'

Hope it arrives before Christmas...

For what it's worth, I've also found them very reliable.

I'm not ready to get it yet myself, but it is available for the Nook too.

 

[E-DUB]

At a B+N last night. Don't think I've ever seen a Trek book this early in the month.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Damn, you're lucky because my Barnes & Noble didn't have it.

 

[JarodRussell]

Could someone explain the title for an non native English speaking offworlder?
