It is here.

We sail in and out of Time, then back again. There is only one ship, the captain says. All the ships we hail between the galaxies or suns are this ship.

I'm just hoping the ebook version comes out to a Canadian ebook retailer on March 1st. Its available on Amazon for US customers but not for Canadian, and I have been unable to find out any info about the ebook versions. I emailed Transworld Digital about it because they were responsible for the Canadian ebooks of previous installments. I'll post here for those who are looking to grab the ebook version if I get a response.

I will add that chapters.ca is no better. The release was yesterday according to their website, and I so I had placed my order with them. Today I contacted their shipping people, who said the release date has been pushed back to March 15. I have ordered from Amazon UK and I am in the process of cancelling my order with Chapters. I should have known better after they changed the release dates for Stonewielder (grumble).

Chapters/Indigo I have come to find are NEVER trustworthy with their release dates. They are SUPER lazy when it comes to stocking the shelves on release day, let alone the online store.

I'm an amazon.co.uk boy from here on out. I got STONEWIELDER and THE HEROES from them and THE CRIPPLED GOD is on its way. Am happy.

That's effing awful! I feel horrible for you dude.

...and here's what I think may have happened. Amazon.co.uk....completely underestimated the amount of orders they were going to have. Considering a fair number of us ordered from amazon.co.uk and a number have shipped (if not already been received), so now they have to go back to Transworld and ask for another shipment to fill the remaining orders. The silver lining being that Transworld likely HAS the books, and they just need to get them into amazons hands, making your wait probably a few more days than planned. My two cents.

Haven't dispatched my order yet but I did choose priority mail... D'oh is me. 44 pounds extra to get slower service than Abyss. You must be living right.

priority mail is NOT your friend.
except for when it is.

I dunno - i think that if you pre-order far enough in advance the books ship earlier than otherwise, but that's a guess.

I don't understand how you guys are getting tracking information. Mine shipped as of Feb. 19th and the estimated arrival date is March 14th...

I might have paid for Royal Mail if that's the cheaper one or something.

Yeah, I am in this boat too. I know it's been "dispatched" as of Monday from co.uk but it refuses to track it, and I tried throwing the number into ups.com and it says it can't track the shipment....Sigh.

I assume you both ordered from amazon.uk so if you copy the tracking #, go to ups.com, select your country and follow the instructions, you should get the tracking data. Or God hates you.

Catpocalypse narrowly averted this am. I checked the tracking and it said my order was in Philidelphia, where previously it seemed it was already here in Ontario. The bombers were fueled and ready to launch but i called UPS and it turns out only the data had been received. The actual package left Philly this am and arrived here in the next couple of hours. So i may only have it tomorrow.

DAMN THEM!!!!

But only slightly.

Fuckers.

Thankfully I am blissfully enjoying the short treat that is a review copy of Will Hill's YA action horror DEPARTMENT 19...which is keeping my m ind of my lack of TCG delivery.

I have received a dispatch tracking number, Yay! I did what you suggested at ups.com and nothing on the ups system yet for my tracking number, Boo.

I have ordered stuff from the states in the past and UPS really likes to bend you over and stick it in you with regard to handling and duty charges, so I have the lube by the door.

All this to read something by a *Canadian* author. How can he do us like that?! lol

Recruit Skullky here,
Hey we Canadians got jacked to. I went to the book store light on my feet, high hopes and in a happy mood.
...The minute I heard none of the stores in the city had it yet, for a few seconds I contemplated murder.
Then again SE 'The Crippled God' and Patrick Rothfuss 'A Wise Man's fear' are very close on release dates...

I feel I'm treading dangerous ground here.

Ideally, I hope mine arrives before the weekend. My girlfriend is working on-call this weekend so that would entitle me to two whole days of uninterrupted Malazan reading time....a man can hope...a man can hope.

I am scheduled for a March 1 delivery from amazon.com, the day of release in the US -- I only had to pay for 2nd day delivery. I have never had delivery from the U.K. in less than one week, so this is the best I can do.

Earlier today it said 'For delivery by Feb 24, 2011'.

Now it says 'Held in warehouse'.

Shortly it will either say 'Out for delivery'... or... 'Ahhhh somebody save us ahhhhh'. Their call.

Of course, .ca said Feb 21 all the way to Feb 21...
