The Long Mars (No Spoilers Please)

[Tonyblack]

I just pre-ordered a copy for Kindle at only £6.99.

The Long Mars Kindle Edition

 

[pip]

Against my better judgement I've preordered it in HB . Its morbid curiosity at this stage

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

I have not bought a copy of the Long War yet still not sure if I want the rest of them yet.

 

[Jan Van Quirm]

Currently about halfway through reading the Long War and it's not so bad I think - bit irritating in places with the Zulu vicar and his dodgy lavatory needing more of a push but otherwise I'm quite enjoying it

From the little teasers the Long Mars sounds like it's going somewhere at least if what I think happens in Yellowstone does happen - durr!

 

[The Mad Collector]

I've given up, the Long War was diabolical especially all the kop outs to story lines so this is a definite not going to bother

loved the long earth. disappointed by the long war(felt very much like a filler, repetitive and somewhat dumbed down) but i have high hopes that the long mars will have the same tempo as the long earth.

 

[janet]

Mind wide open for this one.
Long Earth took a while to get into it but was worth the effort eventually and i enjoyed the trip.
Haven't a copy of the Long War yet as funds are scarce and i have to wait for the paperback......and.....the Long Mars situation is probably something similar but looking forward to reading it too.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

You could get a copy from the Library Janet and maybe pick up a copy to keep from a charity shop.

 

[The Mad Collector]

Good idea Dug, you can often get first editions of The Long War for a couple of pounds in charity shops, The Long Mars won't be different although The Long War is overpriced by about £3 on that basis by my reckoning as I would need paying to read it again

 

[Tonyblack]

Today is the day The Long Mars is released in the UK.

 

[pip]

I have it in the post so should have it today or tomorrow. Not sure how much I want to read it.Still hoping the series improves

im glad somebody reminded me, mine is in the boot of the car

I received the book today, but have been re-reading the others to refresh my memory. The Long Earth first & now I'm half way through The Long War & will read the new one when I finish it.

 

[DaveC]

I'm reading The Long War for the first time in a few days as soon as I finish Science IV. Won't get round to this one until this time next year when it's in paperback. I enjoyed The Long Earth, though.

Were you waiting till the coast was clear Chis, before sneaking it into the house.

Almost bought it from the supermarket today for £9.

 

[Scifi451]

I am excited to read the long mars. Think will start reading tonight possibly. Wish there was an easy way to refresh my mind on the last book without having to reread it. Or even just a simple rough timeline for the series so far since they have covered a bit of time so far over the first two books

 

[Tonyblack]

I know what you mean. I can't remember very much about the last two books. I know I enjoyed them and I'm sure I'll pick it up again.

Welcome to the site.

 

[Tiffany]

Finished The Long War this morning. I know, I'm retired so have plenty of time to read. I read a chapter then do something useful then go back to the book I'm reading.
I have started reading The Long Mars. OK so far.

 

[Tonyblack]

Yes, I started it this morning as well. Got me intrigued already.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Just bought it from Asda for £9.00 it will take me a little while to get around to reading it as I have not started the Long Earth yet. it's joined the Q.
