Edited by: Ting Tong on 20/06/2008 09:48:15 Got this in my email:
"Dear Customer, We wanted to give you an update on the status of your order #123etc. We are sorry to report that the following items have been delayed: Tony Gonzales (Author) "Eve: The Empyrean Age" [Hardcover]Estimated arrival date: 24/06/08 - 25/06/08"
Original delivery date was for 19th - 20th June 
So Amazon have not received the books to distribute, will see if my local Waterstones have a copy at lunch time, if they do, Cancel Amazon and buy Waterstones.
Have there been supply issues to Amazon, underestimated the demand despite prebooking the order over a month ago?
I was hoping to read this book over the weekend, but looking unlikly now

Considering I ordered my book on the day it was announced, you would expect it to be delivered. Amazon just suck for pre-orders. Maarud.

Sounds like the publisher sent the book out via the Eve Store to other distributors. So it should arrive by year's end, guaranteed!*

Rang Amazon and confirmed that mine wasn't due for another 6 days, I take a 45min bus ride into town, buy an overpriced paperback copy, wait an hour for the bus, 45min ride back.
...call to cancel my order and Amazon have changed the delivery date to tomorrow.  Sig removed, inappropriate content. If you would like further details please mail [email protected] ~Saint |

As mentioned elsewhere, the books' publisher, ORION, has not yet finalized a US publication deal. Even the Amazon.com orders are unlikely to be filled. We are working with them to expedite this process but it takes time and is not 100% under our control.

Why, this is an OUTRAGE! If CCP does not correct this grevious error I shall cancel all 12 of my forum whoring accounts! Furthermore, all of my friends in my alliance will all quit, trashing their T2 BPOs as a result and destroying the market as you know it! ---------------- Play EVE: Downtime Madness v0.81 (Updated 4/8) |

Originally by: Elsebeth Rhiannon I am not sure I will order the book myself.
I did not think TonyG's previous stuff fits very well to the EVE universe, which I feel should be close to realistic military/political scifi rather than the epic alien superbeing conspiracies being behind it all style he writes in.
And I even less like the idea that we have to pay for the book that is not even out yet to get the backstory behind the game events that are out already. An alliance mate called it "holding our RP hostage" and that's how it feels to me. It makes me contrary to the whole idea of paying for it.
I think you're the one with the conspiracy issues.

Well, I have money I'd love to spend buying the novel, but I guess that's not possible yet.
Isn't over half the Eve player-base in the US? I'm just saying.

Yes as you whined already in another post its not available in the US or is it.
I actually received 5 copys on day of release from Amazon.co.uk, now that is win :P
Edit: Hmph the amazon.com page didn't say it was out of stock when I linked it above.

Edited by: Ilany on 21/06/2008 09:59:30 I got mine from Forbidden Planet on Thursday (they had to pull it out of the box mind).
I've nearly finished it and it is good. I won't spoil it for others by going into plot details, but it's a nice sci-fi yarn in a world we're all familiar with. My only quibbles are:
1. The end of Chapter 32 which is needlessly graphic. 2. The timing - it would have been better to release this immediately before the patch rather than after it. If CCP can't control the publishing date they can at least control the patch date. 3.. The fact that so much EVE backstory has been covered so quickly. Events mentioned years ago are finally being pulled together.
