Not really for all of the books BUT there is the Fantastic Books KS that has 4 of the Official Elite Fiction authors represented in a very very nice collection.

Indeed, the Kickstarter (linked in my sig and above) provides a very handy way to get some very special editions (audio books, hardcovers, boxed sets) of some of the upcoming fiction. The rest of the novels will be available - I assume - through Amazon or some other sellers when they are published.
this thread leaves me with a question: will FD stock all the books as part of the ED store so they are all available from one place?
That would be an amazing way to promote the books, however with most books being self published, or through different publishers then I don't see how they could be all distributed through elite without Frontier having to buy a stock.
So I would say Michael Brooke's official sequel would be likely to be distributed through the frontier shop, but maybe it would be e-book versions? That would work for all authors...
I guess we need to wait and see..
that would be my guess as well, either that of the FD shop will just provide links to the various sites/distribution channels of the official books so at least you could access them all from one page.
Amazon seems to manage perfectly adequately in selling stock that they do not have and is serviced by someone else.
During his kickstarter, I asked Dan of Fantastic books (who are publishing 5 of the official books) if those were going to be available from the Frontier store, and he said that it was quite possible.
Actually, 'most' of the books are published by Fantastic books (5) and Gollancz (3). Most of the rest are, er, struggling - though there are still a couple of independents out there that look likely to publish.
At least one of which is refusing to take my money ...
If you mean me, there will be ample opportunity after the book is released. That way, you get to read reviews and can decide if it's worth your hard-earned pocket incinerating pounds. :smilie:
That many virtual credits will buy you any number of virtual pages of my still-virtual book. 'Patience you must have, my young padawan.'
