BOOK WRAP-UP (Kind of)
Reamde by Neal Stephenson
Hi Tom & Veronica,
A few weeks ago, Ian Tregillis wrote an interesting blogpost about the upcoming publication of his second book “The Coldest War”. Here’s the link to his blog for the full story.
To sum it all up, he announced that the audiobook would be released on December 20, 2011 on audible.com. So I thought we could add it the calendar. For the ebook and “”dead-tree”” editions however, we will have to wait until June or July 2012. – Nicolas
