In case you were wondering: Amazon began shipping Orphan’s Alliance yesterday. In fact, they evidently shipped some preorders before that, because I’ve already gotten fan mail from a reader in Germany who had already gotten his. Notwithstanding the moved-up 10/28/08 release date, apparently many bookstores won’t be putting the books out on the shelves until the original 11/1/08 date. Also, the electronic editions for the various formats won’t hit the ‘net until 11/1/08.
Over at SF Signal’s Mind Meld, I joined a lively debate with the likes of John Scalzi and David Brin about Buzz Aldrin’s complaint that current science fiction has killed interest in space exploration. Check it out: http://www.sfsignal.com/archives/007350.html
And Fandomania today carries Kelly Melcher’s review of the reissue of Orphanage. http://fandomania.com/book-review-orphanage/
