Did you get them as the Amazon deal of the day for Kindle? I saw them today but didn't buy (yet), despite being a "longtime Lackey junkie" as well.

[Ken]

Picked up
Ancillary Sword

Bit of a hard time with this one. Its the ebook version. I usually shop at Kobo and when I bought this it was the epub3 version that my reader doesnt support. This is the second time this has happened. What is odd is I see it else where as the standard epub. I ended up buying it another ebook store ebooks.com.
This annoys me for several reasons.
1. Another ebook version?
2. Why doesnt kobo sell all versions
3. Am i going to be out of luck in a couple of years

arrgg. This was one of my worries when I started on the ereader.

[Ken]

I went to see a movie Wednesday night. Has a bit of time after the movie so stopping in the big box book store and checked it out.

Really? Bummer... I don't have the first book yet, either, but maybe I won't rush into looking for it since there is no conclusion.

[Ken]

Yep.
I bought them in hardcover and read them as they were released. I enjoyed them back then but she never finished the story
I just did a quick qoogle search and it seems that she may begin writing it this year, her process gets her to finish a book anywhere from 18 months to 5 years

Interesting to note, the reason she didnt finish was due to personal issues and depression and when she was back she felt the need to write something new.
I didnt know this. I was under the impression it was
publishers not wanting it.

Thanks for the info, Ken. I can see not wanting to go back to a story that reminds you of negative things, but I hope she finishes it. I've enjoyed the other things I read by her.
