So yes, the Smiley series is a series. Fantastic Fiction and Overdrive agree with this. I've read some of the Jack Reacher series and so far each book has been mostly stand alone. Yet it is still a series.
As I said.. Obsession..

We are the 45.45%!

The poll was close but we have a clear and decisive winner, and the first tiered vote went well.

Yay! Not sure if I have missed it somewhere in the various threads, but has anyone found a source for the Black Rain ebook? If not, I'd better hurry up and get an order in to Amazon for the DTB version...

I can get it fron the Sony Store (I'm in Sweden, but have a US billing address in the Sony Store), but it's more expensive than I like to pay for an ebook (around $10), but it seems that georestrictions makes it hard for us non-US people to get it.

I purchased my epub version through Kobo. Fortunately I was able to take advantage of a 50% off deal. Inkmesh currently shows three sources.

Inkmesh search.

It's *not* a series. It *does* have recurring characters (i.e. Smiley). There is nothing in the book that requires reading any previous.
Concur completely.

Thanks both. Unfortunately none of the sites listed will allow me to purcase from the UK. Might just have to go for the DTB version.

How can you be so wrong? It's a series and your saying it's not is not going to change that.

I read it in DTB from the local university library. You won't be the only Luddite.

So Black Rain has been purchased, calibred, metadataed and sideloaded.

Does it still count for 2012 if I read it now and finish before the 1st?

I wouldn't think it would count towards 2012 if it's read in 2011.

Won't let me buy it . Daft, really, as I often order paper books from Amazon US without any rights problems.
