Penultimate update on Incursio

Post by drew »

Now in the final final final stages of proof-reading. Launch date is confirmed.

For those of you who haven't read Status Quo and Mutabilis I suggest you don't jump straight into Incursio, but rather read the earlier books first. Given SQ was 2006 and M was 2008, those who did read may want to perform a cursory re-skim... (SQ was updated significantly in 2009, so more stuff to enjoy anyway). Make sure you grab the latest versions for my website - pdf and ebook formats all now available.

The reason being is the Incursio plot links (surprise surprise) with the earlier books and if you haven't read them you'll get a series of "Huh?"'s early in the story. Being Part 3 it's not really a 'standalone' story.

For some of the other characters, you might also want to revisit Calliope, Rise of the Kirin and Coyote...

Forewarned is forearmed (or even four-armed, adjust according to your anatomy) and all that.

One week to go. 8)

Cheers,

Drew.

Take an idea from one person and twist or modify it in a different way as a return suggestion so another person can see a part of it that can apply to the oxp they are working on.

77,715 words. All set for Friday. :wink:

I've even bought some extra bandwidth for July so my website doesn't go off-line after two weeks like last time. Hopefully 10GB will be enough.

Cheers,

Drew.
