So, a funny thing happened on trigun twitter
(amazon link where its 50% off as of May 8th: https://www.amazon.com/This-How-You-Lose-Time/dp/1534430997/)
Update, “this is how you lose the time war” is now #21 on Amazon’s bestseller’s list
(semi-related note but I too have now ordered the book)
another update: Amal El -Mohtar wrote a small article on her blog (https://amalelmohtar.com/i-tried-to-title-this-post-for-twenty-minutes-and-failed/), one which contains the words “[…] and the upshot of it all is that corporate marketing people at Simon & Schuster now know the name Bigolas Dickolas.”
Further update!
Time war has reached #7 on the amazon bestseller’s list and is still discounted!
