And for that, you get an electronic copy that hasn't been corrected or proofread? That's two or three times what an ebook costs. If you could pre-order the book and get the ARC as a free bonus, that might make sense (even at the list price). But otherwise, this seems ridiculous, don't you think?

I recollect that Wentworth's Black on Black books seemed to be wanting more. So Drak, what's next in the snippet queue? Mission of Honor? I see the book cover is now showing on various sites (Amazon, Simon & Shuster). A Mighty Fortress? The next Ring of Fire book? @4 Maybe more to come?

I dunno... Mmm. I'm a bit disappointed. It felt like the book was missing the climax ending. Already read it. I dunno… Mmm. I’m a bit disappointed.
