The link to the Kindle version ... forgot to put it there last night.

Can't download in UK yet. Kindle registration also required.

I got my copy in France last week. No time to read it yet, but I'll give it a whirl pretty soon.

A friend in Singapore, (not Lowem) got one delivered all the way from the USA in three days using the cheapest int'l shipping, about $5.00!

Quinny, it's available in UK on Kindle now. See link below ...

I read nearly half the book last night. It's quite fast paced and a good read so far.

Well, given the last book I read was the uncut version of The Stand (yes, all 1141 sodding pages of it), that may just be relative!

It seemed to get into the action too quickly for my taste (but I guess that's the sudden nature of the whole thing) but it seems to be developing well so far (and I've stopped thinking "this is a book by a bloke on the forum" and am reading it for what it is, a good read!).

[Quinny]

Half way through already! Really enjoying it.

Yeah, thanks for posting this, Lowem. I'm glad you liked the book. And it's always nice to meet up with you when I travel to Asia. You and your family are fortunate to be in Singapore. ...
Here's the link, but it's in pdf for those with a slow internet connection. The article is on page #1, so you won't wait too long to load: http://www.nw-connection.com/archives/N ... 1_v2-1.pdf

Congratulations EB on what has evidently been a labour of commitment.

I wrote a review as promised.

Finished this morning. Really enjoyed reading a novel by someone who I feel I almost know!

When's the sequel?

[midnight-gamer]

I'll pick this up for sure!

Edit: I linked the Amazon page on Facebook. I hope that is OK.

[eastbay]

Crazy, I broke my Kindle yesterday ... somehow. The screen went 'silly' on me. I called Amazon and a new one should arrive tomorrow!

Anyhow, I was about to show the kindle version to a friend and ... wth? I couldn't!

basil-hayden, Dave, Narz, AD, Quinny, midnight-gamer, lowem, Jack, Turtle, S, careinke, dormorlin, pstarr, Expat, StephenKrasner, FL, and, of course, Plantagenet and all the rest of you (damn, I know I'm skipping some of you ...) ... thanks for all the kind comments everyone. They mean a great deal to me and will serve to motivate me as I push onward with the sequel. Your suggestions, tips, advice and all that helpfulness kindly offered is noted, saved and will be integrated. I can't do it alone ... lol.

Just bought the book off Amazon tonight. I look forward to reading it next weekend.

[eastbay]

Note: I was advised this morning that the distributor, Amazon, has dropped the price to $11.48. Barnes and Noble, Amazon, and Tower Books all have it at $11.48. They set the price, so this is fantastic news! I thought you all would want to know.

[pstarr]

It's kind of spooky right now. The book is playing out. Eastbay, you haven't spooked the stock market have you? This isn't some plan to drum up sales, is it?

I was thinking the same thing. Eastbay don't you think this is a little extreme just to promote your book?

[eastbay]

Shhh. Please, not so loud or I'll get busted. I don't want this project to fail. It's really close ... almost complete.

Dude, calm down. I promise, you'll get your collapse. And it will unfold just like it did in my little bedtime story. Oh yeah!

[basil_hayden]

ZOMG!

I haven't been back to this thread, but am in the middle of the book, and it's freaky because it feels pretty close to actually happening. In fact I PM'd the sequel question before I noticed it in a post above, so it MUST happen.

I'll get at least a dozen folks hooked, all of them doubters but they have faith in me, and therefore in eastbay.

I guess this is how stuff goes "viral".

Bought it on Amazon.com and read it in two evenings. I enjoyed it, even the peak oil preachy parts.
