Liaden fans, help me out

[CRussel]

Big sale at Audible on all sorts of stuff, but this includes the entire Liaden Universe of novels, all at 85% off. I had them all already, but spread across two accounts, so I just rationalized them onto my main account. 3 books for $13, including tax.

ETA: Through March 4.

From elsewhere:

We can now provide TURN-IN dates for the next three Liaden books (for those who collect such things, this is the so-called Triple Threat Contract).
SALVAGE RIGHT due to Baen June 2022
TRADE LANES due to Baen, September 2022
BOOK THREE (return to the Redlands) due to Baen, June 2023

Snippet Alert:

"One of the crew of Bechimo who may have valuable insight into my work. As you heard, we will speak in depth after the present task is completed, and I have slept."

"Oh, you remembered sleep," M Traven said, in a tone of broad enlightenment.

"If I had not, you would have reminded me," Seignur Veeoni said, rising and moving toward the antechamber.

Thanks - it’s exciting to see these dates! A bit surprising to see how quickly they plan to complete the drafts. They must each be working on separate manuscripts, in order to submit them in close succession like that. Great news for us

Yes, Sharon is working on Salvage Rights, while Steve is working on Fair Trade. And they do pass them back and forth as required. And keep in mind that these are turn in dates, not publication dates. The reality is that there are LONG lead times in this business. Still, one is encouraged.

A tiny snippet:

"Well, that is hardly flattering. I assure you, I am a very good Healer."

WOOT!

That's turn in dates, folks, not publication dates.

What a surprise.

And it's Snippet Friday...

A fourth of the company had adopted a less ambitious mode, leaning against the ramp-rail, arms and ankles crossed in an attitude of almost aggressive repose.
Jen Sin was angling toward that peaceful figure, and some similarly peaceful explanations.
But he had failed to correctly account his cousin Theo.
"Jen Sin!" she called. "Catch!"

Thanks - more fun!

Only a few more weeks for the hardcover of Fair Trade to hit the shelves. I really hope they release the ebook at the same time.

Ebook will release on the first Tuesday of the month. STANDARD for all Baen books. They can't show the eBook on Amazon, etc, because of the whole eARC thing. So releasing this Tuesday we have Harbinger, from Wen Spencer (FINALLY!), and then on May 3rd we should get the eBook of Fair Trade. You can buy it now on the Baen site, but you won't have access to the full download until May 3rd. At which point it releases in multiple, DRM-Free formats. (I ended up buying the monthly bundle for both months, given that there were a couple of others in the bundle that made it appealing. And given that it's likely to be a while until the audio book is available.)

Since it is now Tuesday, here, my Amazon.co.uk pre-order of Harbinger ebook has arrived.

Woot!

[CRussel]

You get a definite advantage for things like this! I'll grab my download tomorrow from Baen.com.

Oh excellent, thank you! I was a tad concerned, because I can usually pre-order ebooks. However Amazon has only been listing listing the hardcopy. I’ve never looked into Baen’s monthly bundles - I must check them out.
