Three Days to Jungle
Three days, people. Not counting today, since it’s halfway gone for most already. Three. Days.
And then Jungle drops.
I mean … what else do I even say? At this point, it’s just waiting to see what happens. Watch the pre-orders tick up for those folks that want it ASAP, and then see what day-one sales look like. Wait for reviews to roll in. See what all of you make of the biggest Sci-Fi adventure I’ve ever pumped out.
No pressure, right?
Seriously though, it’s all over but the waiting, now. In three days, those of you that pre-ordered will have a copy in your hands, be it on your phone, tablet, laptop, kindle, or whatever other device you’ve decided to use for reading it. And it should probably be a device, too. At 457,000 words, an actual print copy of Jungle would probably weigh something like six or seven pounds. Good luck holding that one-handed.
Three days. It’s finally happening. Just so you guys know, work on Colony, the first book in this set, started five years ago, in late 2014. Colony released two years later, in 2016, and work on Jungle started almost immediately afterward. So the grand total of these two books? Five years of work and effort.
In three days you’ll all get to see where that’s led us, as well as the series’ starring trio of Jake, Anna, and Sweets.
While we wait for that release, if you’ve already locked in your pre-order and before we get to the rest of the news, I’d like to do a bit of an informal survey among you readers: Who’s your favorite of the three, and what do you expect is coming for them in Jungle? Got any theories?
While you ruminate on that, hit the jump for some more news!
I'll forbear from speculating, but I think my favorite of the trio is Anna.
And congratulations on getting an invite to speak on panels! That sounds really, really cool.
