Fiction 'Cyber Monday' for Official Elite: Dangerous Novel - Reclamation

drew · Nov 30, 2015

Apologies to mods if this is not appropriate, but I thought a few folks won't have heard of this and it's a chance to grab a cheap copy! - Feel free to do your duty if I have infringed something. Posted here as traffic to the fiction forums is very small.

I wrote Elite: Reclamation back in 2013 and it's one of the official Elite Dangerous books. Amazon have done a 'Black Friday' or 'Cyber Monday' on it, as a result it's down to £1.71 at the moment. Not sure how long this will last, but it's normally £6.50. Amazon pricing is a bit weird!

So if you haven't grabbed a copy here's your chance folks, if you'd like a little background on what I hope is a very definitive Elite story (and the only one featuring the Empire and also the only one with fan written follow ups), it's all here...

Enjoy.

Cheers,

Drew.

ps. Doffs cap to mods and smiles cheekily.

Edit : Also on Google books if you have an aversion to Amazon.

Do they also come in audio books?

Then i can play and listen at the same time.

Audiobook is available here. > https://fantasticbooksstore.com/store/mp3-audio-2/elite-reclamation-mp3/

There are mp3, USB and CD versions.

This version is semi-live action, with voice acting by Toby Longworth, music by Allen Stroud and sound effects from Elite: Dangerous.

One of the best 'Elite' books I have read, and if you haven't seen the 10 minute reading video it is awesome.

Thank you. Just bought... and bought Emanation too.

If no-one's dipped a toe into the realms of ED fiction, I can heartily recommend giving it a try.

Drew's is probably the best one I've read so far and for this price you can't go wrong

Thanks everyone!

Still hoping to write a sequel to this. Plenty of ideas ready for launch, just waiting on a nod from the Frontier folks.

Cheers,

Drew.

Purchased. Can't wait to read it.

Zeeman · Nov 30, 2015

Right, seriously... This region locking crap has to stop. Can't buy because I'm in Aus...

Time to get the good old VPN up, I guess...

Funnily enough, Google are happy to take my money - so purchased. Shame I don't actually have an android tablet at the moment, but one problem at a time

if I go here: https://fantasticbooksstore.com/store/paperback/elite-reclamation-pb/ and select signed or unsigned the price defaults to 0.00 and I can't order. The site doesn't say it's sold out though unlike the hardback.
I've tried IE,Firefox and Opera so it is definitely a site thing. Can't find any way to easily contact them either!

Fastest way is via twitter. https://twitter.com/Fantastic_Books I'll ask myself and get back to you here.

Thanks to everyone who's been buying a copy of Elite: Reclamation. It's jumped into one of the 1,000th most popular books on Amazon as a result.

I'm even on the same virtual bookshelf as George R. R. Martin!

I dare say it's only a temporary affair, but I imagine it hasn't done Elite Dangerous any harm either.

Thanks once again - and if you can pen me a review when you're done. I'd very much appreciated it!

Cheers,

Drew.
