heeha !! but still such a looooooong wait.

It sounds like he's done with the first draft and moving on to adjusting and editing as necessary.

Bit over one year left... Long wait, but it'll totally be worth it!
What do you think will be the key events? Berlin Wall, Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam, Afghanistan (Soviet war there) and fall of the wall? Cold War spy thrills throughout?
Just picked mine up in the store. Managed to get the first chapter read on my lunch break.
ahhh, i'm jealous. i've pre-ordered mine, but we get it a bit later here in south africa. estimated time of arrival - 5 october.
I assume you are talking about the Hardcover edition. How long before the Paperback will be released? I'm on page-300 of the "Winter of the World", trying to read slow,so I can go straight-into "Edge of Eternity".
Generally they come out a year after hardcover.
1-year! OMG, how am I expected to wait that long? Actually,all this is my fault. My plan was to purchase all three books before commencing but I didn't check the internet. I assumed all three were in print. Thanks for getting-back to me Brandon.
oh my hat, oh my hat - i pre-ordered it here in south africa and they said it would be delivered to me on 5 october 2014 - and i just got it now !! i'm in seventh heaven !! ;)
Go to the local library and get on the waiting list, if possible. You can possibly download a digital version also from the library. You can still buy a paperback a year later.
I have the Kindle version but I will likely download the audio version at some point. I can wait to hear the audio. Best wishes down in vuvuzela land.

Heather - I don't remember there being much if any descriptive detail about the camps. It's worth a read and makes this one more interesting as you'll know the backstory.
Heather, I agree with Brandon. Winter of the World is a must. I happen to think it's rather special.
I didn't like "Winter of the World" as much as "Fall of Giants", I'm very curious about "Edge of Eternity".
oh no, my husband grabbed the new book, as i'm still busy with other books !! ;)
I picked-up a copy of "Whiteout" today.

I finished it too. I feel like this series started out fantastic and didn't quite keep the same level throughout still totally worth the read though.
Absolutely wonderful book. Only thing I find reason to cirticize is the slightly skewed division between years... over 2/3 of the book done and not even finished with the 60's. Still, though, a great book. I agree that Fall of Giants is still the best one.
I really loved this series. This was a good way to wrap it up.
Though far less intrigue, it would be interesting to see him do one with yet another generation, to witness the events of the 90's and 00's with the Gulf War, Serbia, Arab spring, and the numerous other civil wars and such. Just to see how he'd have done it.
Do my eyes deceive me? Is "Edge of Eternity" already in paperback? Or is Amazon playing tricks on me?
I am reading it now and I can't stop it. Volume 2 was not good.
