Vanguard: Reap the Whirlwind

[David Mack]

Hi, folks.

Just a quick announcement for those who are interested: Reap the Whirlwind, the third book in the Star Trek Vanguard series, is now listed as in stock and available for immediate delivery from Amazon.com.

I don't know if brick-and-mortar stores have received copies yet, but for those of you who order online and have not pre-ordered the book, instant gratification is a click away.

That is all. Peace out.

Yeah, I ordered it.
Got a message it would be delivered at the end of the month.

I'll let you know if it comes earlier.

David: Are you going to post annotations for the new novel?

Re: Vanguard: Reap the Whirlwind annotations?`

I don't think so. I haven't had time to write any, and various circumstances in my life leave me barely any time to write the things for which I'm being paid. I might post my casting ideas for the crew of the Sagittarius sometime in June, if I can get my schedule SNAFUs under control by then.

Holy crap, it's on the third book already? I haven't even gotten to the first one yet!

I got an email from amazon today about it. The teaser paragraph alone has me giddy (if I wasn't already from reading the previous books).

I preordered mine but they still show it won't be shipped until May 31, I guess that's because I have a preordered movie in the same shipment. Oh well, I still haven't finished the Mirror Universe book 2 yet.

Too soon! I'm not ready for this yet. I'm still too far behind in my other Trek books. Good news anyway.

Great to hear. Now I have a reason to give http://www.bordersstores.com a few dozen more hits a day. :thumbsup:

The one I go to did not have it on the shelf today. I wouldn't expect them to have it for another two weeks... maybe a little less.

My copy shipped earlier today from Amazon and should have it by Saturday.

Must one reread STT before reading Reap or is it a standalone?

Re: Vanguard: Reap the Whirlwind now on sale from Amazon

Anything you'd need to know in order to follow the story is in the book itself. It is not necessary to re-read anything to appreciate or understand it. It might be a bad place for a new reader to join the series, but even that would not be a total train wreck.

One fun item of note: in the back of the book, we've included a glossary of terms unique to the Vanguard series --- including all the new characters, places, ships, and other phenomena. So if you stumble over a name and don't recall the source, you can look it up in the glossary.

Must try to get a copy soon.

Any idea why the book has been delayed from May 22nd to July 2nd according to Amazon UK?

Nope.

Just ordered mine from the local Borders Express. I asked her if they had it in stock, and she said no, but the local warehouse had plenty of them. My first thought was to raid the warehouse, but then that might be a tad excessive and impatient of me.

I should have it by Tuesday next week. I'll have a review of it up when I'm finished.

Sweet. Good thing I decided to set the DS9r aside till they announce the release date for Fearful Symmetry.
