(Apologies for the multiple posts, but each is on a slightly different subject.)
The book itself, "Spots the Space Marine", looks to be an unusual and entertaining read. It's written as a screenplay rather than prose fiction. I was reading the reviews on Amazon of the paperback version and was intrigued. I've just bought the ebook which is still available on Smashwords.

Good to see reason prevailed over financial pressure for Amazon. Or maybe GW themselves backed off on their claims?

My twitter feed (mostly SF authors) was full of folks changing screen names to something-Space Marine or Space Marine-something. Kind of funny.

I've been reading "Spots" this evening. Must say, I'm really enjoying it so far.

Amazon reinstated it after reviewing the claim by GW. |

I'm sure that GW has used ships in space, and called them "spaceships". I imagine that'll be the next target.
