Alliance of Equals eARC

The electronic advance reading copy (aka, the one with the (most) mistakes in it) of Alliance of Equals, by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller, the 19th novel-length adventure in the Liaden Universe®!

. . .is now available for sale via download.

Here's your link

I trust you all know what to do.

On a related note, I've got a side bet going with Belle, who doesn't think we can sell more than 500 copies of the ARC.  O, cat of little faith.  Sprite, on the other paw, thinks we can earn out the advance on eARC sales.  Of course, Sprite's still a little unclear on the whole Base Ten thing...

I of course hope Sprite is right, too, but, if I'm doing the math right (always a chancy bet), we get 25% of cover on a $15 book, or $3.75 each. So, we'd have to sell on the order of 5,333 eARCs to earn out our advance. We know we sold 447 eARCS of Dragon in Exile, and I suspect that Belle is correct in doubting that we can break 500 for Alliance, but that's looking like a Far More Reasonable Number to me.
