One thing, I don't understand how anybody can rate a book which has not been published yet. Especially, there is 20-year gap.

John It would be better encouragement if we stop buying any other books until he finishes Chtorr.

I refuse to read anything by this jackass until he finishes this series. He's been lying about it for 20 years or so?

He does not have RAH to bounce ideas off of as he did for the earlier parts of the series.

He might have it to a certain point, but then can't complete it, even though he thinks he knows how, then tries to write it, and suddenly gets somewhere unsuitable or undesirable, and has to give up on the thread he takes it on.

I mean, at one point, fairly recently, he set up a go-fund-me because he was broke, despite The Martian Child.

The only real reason I lack any ruth for him is because he was so obnoxious to Larry Correia, claiming LC is "not much of a writer" -- even as he (DG) is blegging for money.(less)

How in the world is it possible that a book that isn't even out yet (and I doubt it ever will be) has 4 1/2 stars?

Nicholas Bretagna II I can't say for sure, but it is possible some have read galley proofs or other pre-released work as "beta readers".

That it hasn't been published, now,…moreI can't say for sure, but it is possible some have read galley proofs or other pre-released work as "beta readers".

That it hasn't been published, now, 7+ years later does seem odd, however.(less)
