Defiance Has Shipped

Amazon is telling me it will be delivered tomorrow. I will not be giving out spoilers....

Re: Defiance Has Shipped

Right.  Time to go check my pre-order also.

Thanks for the alert Joe.

Re: Defiance Has Shipped

Somehow our local bookstore got it early; I got my copy last week.  I very much enjoyed it and am on second read.
I'll leave it to you, Joe, if any snippets are to be revealed - I'm not sure of current board protocol. Admin ... ?
Or we can share posting duties if you like, if protocol hasn't changed and people would like teasers.

Re: Defiance Has Shipped

Another week before mine is due here in the outer colonies.  It has shipped at least.

So it goes.

I am expecting my copy this afternoon.  Did anyone see CJ and Jane on YouTube yesterday?  It was a goodie!

Got my copy digitally on release day Tue 17 Oct.  Re-reading.  Enjoyed it.  Agreed, no spoilers here.

Re: Defiance Has Shipped

I did find the epilog (if you want to call it that) interesting, since it focused on things that occurred before Bren came to be paidhi.  The excerpts from Narani's library books offer a lot of insight into the issues surrounding the Western provinces.

Re: Defiance Has Shipped

Just finished devouring it. Loved the historical perspective in Narani's book.
