Good point. Not sure we've seen a Jung cruiser before in concept art, so it could be just that.
So is anyone else incessantly refreshing Amazon's Ryk Brown page? The few launches I've been here for, both launches came out ahead of the ticker by a day or so.
Yes, I refresh about once an hour or so.
Also sped up and finished "First to Fight" that I had been reading at a leisurely pace to clear the plate for 14...
@justin I think the differences are because of time zones. I for sure will be on the lookout, when it´s availabe on Amazon.de ... Hope Ryk and Amazon make preorders a possibility in the future.
The last book ended not exactly on a high point. There were a few troubling developments. If i recall correctly the drive tech was stolen. It was although one of the best episodes so far. Hope Ryk can hold that up.
Preorders are a bad idea for a number of reasons. First, they rob ranking from your day of release by spreading them out over time. This results in lower visibility on release day. The higher visibility means people that have not yet heard of your series are more likely to see it, and start following it. Second, it locks you into a release date that, if you don't meet, Amazon will penalize you for.
Just not worth it.
BTW: Files came back early from the formatter. I just pulled the trigger. Enjoy!
Not up for me yet, but refreshing every 3 picoseconds.
Thanks for making my weekend!
Will start reading as soon as i find it on amazon!!! Ryk thank you.
Actually while we have you Ryk, care to comment on the art work on the new cover?
I think the Jung ship is a little darker textured, and of a smaller, differently shaped midsection then the battleship. I like it, but prefer the more intimidating impression i got from the styling of the other Jung art work.
What I'm doing until 14 comes out: 
It's out now! Go, go go!
got it. busy or not so busy weekend
THANKS RYK!!! I just finished rereading 13 while waiting and was just annoyed looking for something to read for a day!!! I am so excited and still concerned about the cover.... Not sure i am sleeping tonight!!!
Got it. 11% read on the train to work already. Going to have to force myself to stop reading.
Saw the email this AM and immediately dropped $4 on Ryk. Will be a late night for sure.
Ok so rode the train an extra stop just so i would have extra time on the book, its not very good for productivity, and all i have to say is that this book continues on the ever increasing quality curve of book after book! may have to just leave work early.... but trying to ration the book so it wont be over to quickly....
Bought it last night, got the email just as I was about to go to bed, was late for work today.
