Hi Ryk,

Bought a kindle last week and came across the frontiers saga.

I have read all 11 episodes since and am eagerly awaiting episode 12.

Keep up the good work!

Chris

Well, it was different for me - but the result is pretty much the same.

Found Ep 1 on a bookstore here in Germany. I pretty much breezed through the book and soon got Ep 2. Again, I was through in a little over a day. (In my defense I have to say that both days were workdays.) So, I went to the bookstore again. However, there was no Ep 3. When I inquired about it, I was told that Ep 3 wasn't even planned - at least not in German. (By now, it's due date is given as March 2015, I think.)

So... I did break one of my few principles regarding my reading habits: I switched languages in mid-series. Well, early series. I got all 11 books as e-books and read through them in less than two weeks during my vacation time, eagerly waiting for Ep 12, which was still said to be due early in August. So, yeah, I'm waiting.

Anyway, Ryk, if you're reading this: Keep up the great work! This series is simply amazing, and I like both the fast-paced and the more slow-paced bits and pieces I can find. I'd love to see some more development of your main characters. At least Nathan develops quite nicely, from a good-for-nothing(-but-womanizing) to a hotshot pilot to a "real" Captain.

Melanie,

You're the first person that I've heard from who read the German language versions. The publisher bought the rights to the first 3 episodes. I'm hoping they will buy the rest, however I suspect that they may be waiting to make sure I finish the first 15!

Thanks for reading,

Ryk

My dad hopes so, too. He doesn't speak/read English, so waiting for the German translations is his only option. (I, uh, passed the first two books on to him. But I got replacements... 😉 )
