Fucking fantastic, my friend. Seriously fucking fantastic with bells on. Very, very, very excited about this. Wonderful cover, wonderful design, great blurb
and the promise of something that is very much in keeping with the high standards maintained by MNP and a great writer. Best news I've had in a while
(keeping in mind that good news has been a bit thin on the ground around here of late, by around here I'm referring to my life rather than this forum).

Sorry about the life thing - hope it improves soon. I find not having one helps. Everything has been a bit thin on the ground on the forum, of course. But yes,
I'm pretty happy with the cover.

It does look very good indeed. I am more ridiculously excited about this than I have been about anything in a while. (I have to admit I am checking my Inbox
about five times a minute to see if there's a mail about pre-orders starting.)

You too huh? I must admit, on a list of things I'd save in a fire, the FP novels are pretty high up. I think I still haven't quite got used to the idea
that it didn't all end when MNP pulled the plugs. I'm already picturing myself tearing open the parcel and thumbing to the back pages of Newtons Sleep,
just to make sure there's another one after that.
Let's hope this shifts pre-surgery era Michael Jackson album figures so that RS make a ton of money and the range continues. |

"Let's hope this shifts pre-surgery era Michael Jackson album figures"
Well, we can all play our part in that, can't we? Let us face facts that the future of FP is always going to be dicey until the day when it breaks out of the "Evil Renegade fan" ghetto. If NS is as good as all the indications say it's going to be, then it will be our duty to pimp this mercilessly at sci-fi cons and wherever else people who enjoy batshit-crazy four-dimensional cosmic spy thrillers congregate.

superb cover, especially the negative image of a chest x-ray being used as the top & tail
 season 2 of the FP books looks great and promises adventure
and really messed up things too

...Oh, and the cover looks fantastic. Lovely artwork, and I like the way the design harmonises with the Mad Norwegian covers whilst making its own identity clear. (It's a lot better than the cover of Force Majeure, anyway...) |

Meaning let's hope this sells in large quantities, perhaps even quantities comparable with records made by Michael Jackson when he was good (I suspect the
sales figures might not be quite that impressive, but there's always hope).
See - it doesn't work now that I've been forced to explain myself. Er. Any chance of another tome from yourself there, Phil - now that Random Static are behind the wheel? The answer I'm fishing for is yes, by the way. |

Er... question for Random Static person(s). Would you prefer us to order Newtons Sleep directly from yourself or through one of those Galaxy Four type mail
order places? I'm just wondering in case the one means you'll make more dosh or the other means the various mail order folks will, upon recieving such
orders/requests, be more inclined to keep on stocking your material?

Ordering directly from us is probably best. If they don't get orders for our material from other people, then it hardly matters if they stock it or not.
But just buying it is the main thing, more than where from. That and persuading other people to buy it, writing reviews, etc.
