Could this be another old school book ala Shadows of Mindor?

I find its listing as an unabridged book interesting; it'd be the first such since the prequel novelizations, and also the first non-NJO/Legacy-era audiobook since Outbound Flight.

Plus, they misspelled Millennium. tongue

Not saying it's not potentially legit; it's just strange, is all.

It's from the publisher, so it pretty much has to be legitimate...

Doesn't mean it's actually coming out, though; Dark Tide: Siege or Knightfall?

If it's unabridged, it has to be unabridged from something, but there doesn't seem to be any listing for a corresponding book. Strange.

not yet... maybe the book's been delayed? and they've forgotten to postpone the release date on this CD as well

No, of course it doesn't have to mean that it's really going to be published, but it means that such a book was at least intended to come out at one point by the publisher. So that it's not a fraud or a joke.

Next contract? whistling

Just saying, it's probably going to be announced in May, from what I recall, so it's possible this is something from the next contract leaking out early. thinking Timing doesn't seem quite right, but then it's a bit of an odd entry in any case.

It's very strange...especially based on some other factors. Also, did anyone ever find out more about those LoTF ebooks that were supposedly coming out? There has been some damned odd listings showing up ONLY on the RH website lately. The absence of a physical book combined with a complete lack of any announcements is just odd, unless this is on the unsigned contract, but it still all feels a bit weird.

Luceno? A new Luceno book? This is all too cryptic as of yet but I sure would like to look forward to a Luceno book after Shadows of Mindor!

Obviously, there hasn't been an announcement; retailers don't generally pre-list ebooks though, so I wouldn't expect to see more info until they show up at Powells/Amazon on Tuesday. Or don't, as the case may be.

I agree, it does. If it were cheaper, I'd wonder if it might be an audio-only story like the BBC is doing for Doctor Who and Torchwood, but not at $40!

Well, seems there's an unabridged audio book download too.
