Why the advance mention? Because there is Other Good News in the pipeline to be announced next week :-)
And any of the major ebook providers will be happy to queue up your order ....
Bottom-lining it: This is an epic offer on an epic -- and much acclaimed -- hard-SF story line that spans centuries and light-years. A story line with: Existential dangers. Larger-than-life deeds, both villainous and heroic. Truly alien aliens. Amazing advanced technologies.
How epic? Here's my favorite blurb per novel (in series order, from first to last):
"…Needs recommending within the science fiction community about as much as a new Harry Potter novel does – well, anywhere."
— Locus (on Fleet of Worlds)
"A snazzy thriller/mystery that keeps us (and our hero) guessing until the very end … Wide screen galactic scope, nifty super-science, crafty aliens, corporate corruption and cover ups, and a multi-leveled spy vs. spy vs. spy mystery with little being as it first appears make Juggler of Worlds a first class exemplar of pure SF entertainment."
— SFsite (on Juggler of Worlds)
"Combines sparkling wit and ‘old school’ hard sf with masterly storytelling and cosmic vision … enjoy the return of good, old-fashioned sf, packed with ideas, philosophical musings, and plenty of space action."
— Library Journal (on Destroyer of Worlds)
"Rescues, captures, kidnappings, reluctant temporary alliances, backdoor negotiations, propaganda campaigns, bluffs and double-bluffs, alien and cross-species politics, and, of course, betrayals. Lots of betrayals … One hopes that Niven and Lerner come up with some additional twists and turns.”
— Locus (on Betrayer of Worlds)
and, finally,
Have I piqued your interest? On Amazon, check out The Complete Fleet of Worlds for Kindle (or visit other etailers for additional popular ebook formats).
And if you're not ready to make a five-book commitment? Fair enough. You can read about any individual Fleet series title by clicking its corresponding cover on the right.
