Ghost Ship Prep

[rolanni]

Asyouknowbob, the mass market paperback edition of Ghost Ship will ship on July 31 (Hey, that's Steve's birthday!  And also?  Next Tuesday!).

Now, I know that lots of people read Ghost Ship a thousand years ago, internet-time, as an eArc, and still more snabbled it up in hardcover last August.  However, there are some people who wait for the mass market, and my further remarks are mostly for them -- though all you early adopters can listen in, if you want.

There is some prep work for Ghost Ship.  It's not necessary prep -- if you've been following along the novels, you'll do just fine moving from Saltation to Ghost Ship.  However, there are a couple short stories that may deepen your enjoyment -- or at least your understanding of certain events touched on in the novel.  And, with a whole week left before your book ships, these morsels might soothe your hunger pangs.

The prep stories are:  Hidden Resources, Moon on the Hill, Prodigal Son, and (to a lesser degree) Fighting Chance.  These four stories are available, DRM-free, and in the format of your choice, in echapbooks Halfling Moon, and Allies.

Here are your links:

Allies: Adventures in the Liaden Universe® No. 12

Edited to Add:

Steve points out that Intelligent Design may also be of interest.  Your links are below:

My new boss is named Bob. I had to explain "As we all know, Bob," to him. :)

I was reading the fun recently released book "Geekomancy" and the early chapter with the world-explanatory exposition to the hero(ine) was titled "As You Know, Bob." I immediately thought of Sharon and had to laugh. -- RickH

I believe that Breath's Duty will also help with the enjoyment of Ghost Ship.

Glad to hear that Socks is back up to snuff.

Also, my broken record. those of us that don't do the e-reader thing. Luckily I own all the chapbooks that were printed as chapbooks but fear for the future. Hoping for a book of future short stories like the two I own now: Liaden Universe Companion and Double Vision.
