not too shabby thanks.  i'm just happy to get it...and appreciative the fdo takes the time to give it the old sig.  i'm just anxious as i'm due to start my next book...and i'd hate to start if this is going to come when i am in the middle of something else.  i'll take some crack to keep me calm until then.  ;-)

It's Simultaneous

Based on Scott's twitter postings, he has been signing and packing this week and shipping ALL preorders at the same time on Thursday. He's hardcore like that.

thanks for the info!

Bob's picture
thanks for the info!

The wait will be agonizing.... Ohhhh!

Yngve's picture

I had my expectations for how this would turn out based on Contagious and Infected, but this is just awesome!

 


Is it TRUE?!!!

I just looked at my profile and saw that I get offed in the Rookie! Please say it's not just a glitch! Thankyou FDO! I've never been so happy to face the reaper. Now when my copy of the Rookie comes I can hold it up to my loved ones and say - I am in this! Check it out! Thankyou!!  As ever I am pushing the faith to all corners.

Pain is the teacher and fear is the key.


Doesn't mean you've been killed ...

"HM" = Honorable Mention, which means your name was listed somewhere in a book or a podcast. It may or may not mean your death. You'll have to look in the pages to see!

CRAZY!!!!!!

Can't wait to read it! I am so lucky to be your fan. Thank You for allowing me to give you my money FDO.

Hanging on - Your such a tease

Gitsh's picture
Ooooooo.  Waiting!!!!  I hope it goes quickly  - Living in Australia could make delivery a little longer

Another Australian!

Spyder's picture
Figured I wasn't the only international listener picking it up. Would be interesting to know how many of us Aussies have ordered a copy :)

Well...

Stormy's picture
With you, me and Gitsh, I count three so far...

450?

Spyder's picture

I doubt they're all Australian, but 450 international orders? That's awesome :)

Jizz in my pants!

scottsigler's picture

Alright... it's now 7:33 in the morning...

SynapticJam's picture

And I think that I'm actually ready for the day.  

I'm smiling, chuckling, and generallly in a better mood than I was when I first got to the office.

 

Thank you FDO.  From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Glad you liked the jizz

scottsigler's picture
That song cracks me up.

awesome

Bob's picture
can't wait for it to come!

Holy-lee-shit!!!

Dude I can't even begin to express how excited I am to read this bad boy, truth be told I wish I had more money so that I could buy a couple more, I know my bros will want one very badly and I wouldn't mind having a copy to let other people read....hopefully money comes in my near future! Also FDO do you know if the first print runs of Infected is still on shelves, because I wouldn't mind having your signature on first editions of Contagious and Infected. And thanks to you and everyone else that is making this possible...that book looks super sweet....

That's why I tricked it out, so u wouldn't let people borrow it

scottsigler's picture

Seriously, thats' part of my plan. When this bad boy arrives you will look at it, and you will think, "you know, I'm not really sure I want my bros' grubby mitts on this orange jewel, maybe they can just buy their own." Then they will be sad. Then you will rave about the book. Then they will buy it. All part of my evil plan.

And first editions of INFECTED and CONTAGIOUS hardcovers are still available, autographed, at http://www.borderlands-books.com. You better get to them fast, though.


Thats why I need moar!!!

Carnie's picture

More copies that is. I have hooked several fellow coworkers and have cought them listening to your podcasts on your site here.

 

They really like your work and I know that Tim (coworker) has headed out to get infected and contagious because he liked them so much, he says he is gonna finnish listening to both of those podcasts then gonna start on earthcore.

 

Tim said he will cover my shift when you come to norman so he's a kick ass dude. 

 

Anyway thanks again FDO for your oh so precious time!

Stormy's picture

Too much awesome. Too much awesome. I mean, yes, we've known it was a hardcover for ages, but to see it in all of its Kraken's orange glory...it's totally different. *is now even more excited*

 

The two things that got me the most excited: the shiny, shiny cover, just because I'm a sucker for things like that, and the timeline, the long, long timeline *drool*.  


That shiny orange just BLAZES

scottsigler's picture
And shit, you should see it in your hands. Just looks awesome.

*drools*

I feel like one of those movie zombies, but instead of "brains, brains" I'm saying "The Rookie, The Rookie". I WANT MY BOOK! And can't wait to see the FDO at the Pro Football Hall of Fame! Kids activities that night? So freakin' what! Church choir? Fuck it, I'm going to Canton!

People who don't need people need people around to prove that they don't need people.


Finally got to see the video!

Gmork's picture

I never knew orange could be so.... alluring!Innocent

Seriously, outstanding to see the book and a sneak peek at the color panels.  I am *dying* to see the official timeline as well! If I was a mild junkie before, I am raging junkie now that I have to wait patiently for my copy!

Salivating with desire ....

You look like you filmed

You look like you filmed that in the middle of the night. :) Awesome to see "it" for real. Congratulations!

Middle of the day ...

It was like frickin' noon. The FDO™ writes great stories, maybe he doesn't shoot such great video.

Awesomeness abounds!!!
