when is the last dark out?
Well, as the title suggests, when is the last book out on sale in book sotres.

Public release is in mid-October of this year.
Some of us have already obtained Advance Reader Copies (ARCs) and are chomping at the bit to discuss SRD's conclusion of the series. Many ARC readers have retained their copies, but there is an ARC circulating (see the "Who Wants..." thread), variously refered to as ARC of Covenant and Siblinghood of the Travelling ARC.
I would be remiss if I did not mention that every Watcher will be expected to arrange to be in ABQ next June for Elohimfest, to meet SRD (some of us for the umpteenth time), discuss all his works, and socialize.
Don't miss it!

Pre-ordering via Amazon will have it delivered to you on release day. Their customer-obsessive shipping practices may even land it on your porch a day or two early, just to make sure you are not left waiting for it.

I've seen at least one ARC reader give their non-spoilered opinion of TLD, and I'm interested in hearing what other ARC readers have thought of it (again, in a completely non-spoiler-y way; I'm curious just about how it compares to the other books, whether they were satisfied with the denouement, whether they had successfully predicted its end, etc). I haven't read an ARC and at this point am satisfied just to wait until October, but it'd be good to get the juices flowing a bit.

As an ARC reader, I can assure alanm that TLD is definitely worth the wait...but I cannot really comment to the extent that Borillar wants. Any comparison to other books or observation about what was or was not predicted is potentially too revealing. There are absolutely amazing moments, pure SRD magic, and bits that take some patience to read.
Pre-order it. You want this book. Read it as soon as you can get your hands on it. Help dissect it when that forum opens. Above all, Come To Elohimfest so we can all meet.

Alas, not for me. Living where I do, I would have to get it shipped to a US mailing address and then get it shipped on to me. It is therefore easier to Kindle a book if I want it on publication day.Savor Dam wrote:Pre-ordering via Amazon will have it delivered to you on release day.

Actually, Amazon ships directly to Bermuda and other Atlantic / Caribbean islands...but there is about a US $7 surcharge and the shipping speed is not great. While they ship preordered books to arrive by release day, whether this is achieveable for locations like yours is questionable.
Sounds like you have a plan.
