Oolite Bulletins

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.

Cheers,

Drew.

Yeah, whose idea was it to have a spherical planet, eh? Tsk tsk...

Blame Columbus. Everyone else does. Failing that...
Blame God. Everyone else does.

Someone else owns the universe now so God is no longer liable. It's true. Was on Ebay.

77,715 words. All set for Friday.

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.

How do we know someone didn't just steal the deed to it from Him and ran off? Like in Time Bandits

sings: "I'll blame it on the weatherman..."
