Attention UK Readers

Kingmaker could use a review, or two, or three on Amazon UK.

I'm stumped, Brag. I did not see a link or cover pic for your book on the Subsim Store's main page.

I'm feeling more than a little blind/feeble-minded about this!

I was wondering how much "Kingmaker" is retailing for as I wanted to buy it next month since this month marks finally getting caught up on the retroactively levied property taxes the county hit me and the wife for because they claimed they had wrongly appraised the land as an empty lot without a house.

I suppose it is worrying me that I'm so far gone in my premature senile dementia that I truly believe I'm sitting in a warm house typing this instead of sitting in the middle of an empty, frost-rimed parcel.

After all, it's impossible the bureaucrat that appraised this land four years ago could have missed something so obvious as a house! Right? :p

Graf,

You go to the Amazon window and type Alexey Braguine and the book will pop up. It retails for $13.22. Some people been getting it cheaper. If you type the title about 4 different Kingmakers will appear.

What else can I say about bureucrats?

I finally got a copy of Kingmaker, and thanks to jury duty today, I managed to get over half-way through the book. Really enjoying it so far. Well worth the wait

Does that mean jury duty was a little less than rivetting

Happy to hear you are enjoying it. Be interesting to hear your opinion once you're done.

I have now a little blog on Amazon (USA) on the Kingmaker product details page.
Still waiting for someone to write a review in Amazon UK.

UK Surge

Nothing to rave about yet. But Kingmaker sales have surged in the UK. At least it can now be found as number 129, in the espionage, intrigue list right under Cussler's Atlantis Found

Still, there are no customer reviews. Will a Subsimmer be the first?
