Count me in for some co-ordinated buying.

I would risk damnation and dinner with Xioz if I could get my hands on TUC!

[Madness]

Lol, it will be very interesting to see how this turns out.

I agree, lets break the system and force our will upon them.

After making a return to the Second Apocalypse years and months later, coming from the time of the Three Seas Forum of Antiquities, I would like to shower praise upon the curators of this new social club.  Thank you Madness, truly.

Hey I was wondering if we should try this out when the short story comes out in Grimdark Magazine. I know it won't directly correlate to Bakker but maybe his pub and other magazines might take note? I know there's a Kindle version so it might be a good test run on Amazon.

[mrganondorf]

@ Bolivar - that's a great idea!  I'm in!

[Wilshire]

If it can be purchased through Amazon then it might work, but I'm not sure. I suppose we could try it.

When is the Grimdark issue coming out?
As a side note: I'm having a hard time finding Pon books in bookstores in London (want to buy them to give to friends so they get addicted), any one noticed the same or am I just paranoid?

[Wilshire]

Bakker doesn't appear to be well stocked in stores. You're best best for buying them would be online, probably through Amazon UK.

Ask SilentRoamer though, as he's in your area, or thereabouts.

Grimdark is released Quarterly, first edition was October 1st. Next issue is January 1st, but no word yet if The Knife of many Hands will be included in that one or not. Bakker claimed that the story was finished, so I'm hoping it will be included in that second issue of Grimdark.

Its an online only magazine and its $3 per issue.

[Aural]

Have you bought issue #1?

[Wilshire]

I have not, but I am considering it. If it was a paper magazine, I probably would have. I'm not sure about an online one, but its only $3

List of things the first one contains:

Fiction:

Bad Seed (Broken Empire) by Mark Lawrence
Shadow Hunter (Shadows of the Apt) by Adrian Tchaikovsky
The Woman I Used to Be by Gerri Leen
The Neutral by Anatoly Belilovsky (translator) and Mike Gelprin (author)
The Red Wraith by Nicholas Wisseman
Non-Fiction:

An interview with Joe Abercrombie
An interview with Graham McNeill
Book Review: Joe Abercrombie's Half a King - review by Kyle Massa
Article: Grimdark is Here to Stay by Layla Cummins

The Great Ordeal: Book 3 [Hardcover]

Set your watches... Not necessarily to this hardcover purchase but get ready!

[Bolivar]

I'm guessing we should probably wait until the cover's up before going at this. And we have confirmation on how solid the date is.

Reading that post about how it all works, maybe we should stagger the time recommending people to buy it across social media outlets. Like tell the Westerosi to do it at a certain time, then we do it an hour later, then maybe the reddit/twitter/etc. Although I'm not sure how effective it will be outside of this forum, where casual fans are more prone to look at us like we're nuts than they are to actually do it.

In the meantime, it might be a good idea to click the "Tell the publisher! I'd like to read this book on Kindle" button, just to keep that perception of hype up.

Westerosi first?  I'm disturbed by your lack of proper precedence.

[Madness]

Lol - I wanted to give you redemption, Somnambulist, but instead I will exercise my god-like power to remove your one singular and offensive point of damnation.

[Somnambulist]

Lol - cheers, Madness.  I've always wondered about that one.  WHO DAMNED ME?!  I'LL DAMN YOU! Lol
