The Baen Advanced Reader Copy just came out.

Buy it. Buy it now. I'm halfway through and it's solid Correia, with plot turns you never saw coming and layers upon layers of awesome interlaid with win.

advanced ebook is 15 dollars. You pay a premium for early joy.

Do it. Do it now. It's as good or better as the original MHI and so very worth it.

And if you found redneck trailer park elves a hoot, wait till you see what Larry did with gnomes.

Don't correct me: I'm just envisioning them as the workers at Apple.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I'll just say what he's done is....creative and comfortably stands on it's own against the awesomeness that was redneck trailer park elves.

Worth every penny. And of course now I need a new Correia fix. Fortunately he's been posting the Adventures of Tom Stranger on his blog.

http://www.webscription.net/p-1286-monster-hunter-vendetta-arc.aspx

That's the site and the formats are listed there. Once you buy it, you can download as many times onto as many devices as you like.

ok, that webscription thing is really nifty.

I wish I had known about that before, i'd have bought my copy of MHI frm them, instead of teh paperback copy I bought, then gotten the ebook via, err, other means.  (Because it wasnt available on Amazon's site)

And these versions seem to have NO DRM which is another huge plus for me!

Its great B movie writing.  Man fiction, if you will.  Twilight for boys....  :laugh:

I'm looking forward to MHV coming out, and can't wait to smell the paperback in my grubby little paws.

I'll be buying the actual paperback as well.

Cause it's just the damn good.

Also if you look on Larry's blog he's got some new patches for sale. Sam's team as well as team Utah. Dunno if he has any original patches at the moment.

I read the 5 sample chapters and I'm hooked on the new one, but will wait for the paperback.  I have not bought into the whole Kindle or similar thing yet.

You know, I didn't either until I bought a coworkers in order to help him out of a jam.
I was hooked instantly.
