Has anyone been notified that Amazon has begun shipping Immortal Fire preorders?

Retailers in Australia have got copies in stock, so.........

The book does exist (obviously) but I think that outside Australia suppliers are sticking to the official release dates.

I am fairly sure that Immortal Fire was printed at the same time as the first two army list books, it must have made sense to do it that way.

Oh well, at least I can take comfort that whilst preordering seems to confer no advantage in terms of waiting, I'll be getting the book for about 35% cheaper

I think Australia has the fortune of being nearer China weher the books come from... so maybe that is why this seems to happen.

Its very nice - I have my authors copy and the Classical Indians are out on the town Thursday night. Enjoy ...

Swords and Scimitars should be around soon too.

I thought I read they were due on 10th May?

That does more likely but I wouldn't be surprised if they land in Aus first

Well Immortal Fires is available already according to some on the Oz FoG list so I'd expect Swords & Scimitars to arrive there early as well.

Well sooner is better surely!

Si

It certainly is, as much in England as in Oz!

The U.S. release date at Amazon Books is April 22; Swords and Scimitars May 20, and Legions Triumphant June 17.

Early for all is better. Early for some and not others can cause rebellious mutterings

Well we can go communist and keep everyone equal my making them all late if you prefer

Honestly the team is flat out on this. RBS and the history helpers are doing a fabulous job. You can't just knock out books of this quality quickly.

At the moment the lists team are busy in Dark age Europe.

Immortal fire was sent on it's merry way to the publishers long ago and some people are fortunate in that in Australia at least it is apparently on the book shelves. In the UK the official release date is a few weeks away yet.

That's what I thought, and so I couldn't understand why shall was saying that the team was working flat out on a book that had already been printed
My queston was why IF was available in Oz and not elsewhere. If it has been inadvertantly "leaked" outby Oz retailers, why not release the embargo, or whatever it is that is delaying release, elsewhere?

I can assure you that this is not the case. The version that you saw earlier was a press release copy.

The release dates will always vary slightly depending on a number of factors. We are trying very hard to stick to the scheduling as best we can, however shipping, warehousing, distribution stocking at retail etc involve a number of different companies and it is next to impossible to drop them everywhere on the same day. Suffice to say when they reach retail in any given territory they are on their way to all of the different territories.

I will say I very much appreciate the effort the Design Team is making to push out the army books as quickly as possible while maintaining a very high standard. Thanks very much to you all.

shall was saying that the team was working flat out on a book that had already been printed

I don't recall saying they were working on any such book Just that they were flat out on army lists.
