Thank you Drew for the short story. Nice twists in this story. And a good trailer for the main book. :D

Very nice cover image - but that title font doesn't grab me. Mind you, I'm an old curmudgeon when it comes to fonts.

All four (five?) novels are using the same font, yes? I presume that was a joint decision then? Or was it the publisher's?
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

Publisher makes these sorts of decisions. We just see the end result and perhaps get to comment if we spot major problems. Still, I'm very happy with all 5 covers and especially so with the anthology cover! :)

Glad you enjoyed the short story folks.

Another little tidbit. The Prism system, around which Elite: Reclamation is centred, has appeared in the latest Alpha of Elite: Dangerous...

Received the book, and just in time before I go on a 3 week exercise where I'll have some spare time in the evenings to read.
Also, thank you for the mention in the book Drew. I have to admit that a bit of nostalgia came over me and I just had to reread the posts here on the forum leading up to your kickstarter. Great times and I almost miss the excitement.
You have my whole hearted admiration and congratulations on completing this project.
Well done Drew.
I look forward to reading the book.
