    Anyone know if Timothy Zahn's Choices of One is being released in the UK? It's due out July 19 and so far the only one on Amazon UK is from marketplace sellers.

    Still tba here which is quite a good source:-

    I'd say it's probably not going to get a UK hardback release like Millennium Falcon didn't - bit weird considering the 20th anniversary of HTTH and all but not the first time something like this has happened.

    I ended up ordering from Amazon.com. Hopefully the currency conversion will make up for the shipping charge.

    I'm still waiting for Choices of One from Amazon US. It shipped around Jul 19 but no sign yet. I think it's coming the long way around by slow boat.
    I ordered the new FOTJ from Amazon UK so it should be quicker.

    Mine is still en-route. If I finish my current book before it comes I'll start Choices of One. However since I just re-read Conviction I'd prefer to read Ascension first.

    It definitely wasn't there when I was looking. The only versions I found were from marketplace sellers.

    The London Forbidden Planet is usually pretty good about getting SW books. I also get pretty good results at my local Waterstones but I prefer to get the Amazon discount on hardcovers. I don't even bother at Smiths. I just check them for magazines and for what's on their specials.

    Surely you have some free time to squeeze one in before then?

    I know i could read one of them, but i enjoy the wait. and i've got all the other novels to read from in the meantime. Plus it saves my friends and family from getting me the wrong presents.[:D]
