I wouldn't call it a stinker, but to this day Horn and Ivory remains the one KRAD story I didn't like. Felt lost and wondering why I should care during most of it.

^ Well that's cool. It just felt like it came out of nowhere to me and I didn't really care for the premise. I'm probably harder on it than I should be because I enjoyed the rest of the collection so much.
edit: Wow, I had completely forgotten that KRAD wrote this one.. Yeah, this is probably the only KRAD story I haven't enjoyed. Still, not liking one out of ALL of the others, he's still got an amazing record of great work.

^ You've still got a 99% success rate in my book pal! 
Like Ian said, since when? I'm in Canada, and I've ordered a lot of stuff from Amazon.ca, Amazon.com, and Amazon.co.uk. I've come close to ordering from Amazon.de, too, and the only concern I'd have about that is the cost of shipping.
I'm curious, is it really significantly more expensive to order from amazon.de than ordering from amazon.co.uk?
I just went through the order process at Amazon.de for a book (cancelled the order before placing it) and the standard shipping cost was €14 ($22.42 Canadian). I did the same thing at Amazon.co.uk and the standard shipping cost was £6.98 (C$11.89). That's more of a difference than I'd expected, though to a considerable extent that's because the C$ has been doing pretty well against the pound and not so well against the Euro. A couple of years ago, £7 and €14 would probably both have been around C$15 to C$18.
Yep. long gone are the days of a strong pound where as the Euro just seems to keep on getting stronger!
Ah well, each to their own, of course. It bothered me, but then I'm weird. Glad you didn't have that problem!
I'm not willing to pay the shipping charges.
How about ordering through a bookshop then? And where in the UK are you?
Right outside of London. I've never actually considered trying that; my local bookshops have never been that great with Trek books, so I usually fulfil my ST needs over the internet.
Although all three of my local Waterstones have a very small amount of Trek and the indy bookshop in town dosn't have any, I can order a Trek book from any of them with out any trouble. I'm not sure what the Libraries are like in the Home Counties area, but you could see if they are in the system at all.
Also, if you're not far from London, if you've heard of Forbidden Planet on Shaftsbury Avenue last time I was in there, they had a massive range of Trek novels.
They don't have to be "great with Star Trek", they just have to be good at customer service, and at ordering books by ISBN on their computerized ordering system - which most shops now use. They won't be ordering stock for their shelves, so topic won't come into it. You need a shop happy to do special orders.
That was never the case.
Thanks a lot. I wonder where I heard that?
Ah! What about "Homecoming" in this month's "Mirror Universe Book 3: Shards and Shadows" anthology, plus "Treason" coming later this year. Is that the two?
