Apparently Amazon.de messed up its orders and has sent a batch of books already. Oh, German efficiency, what happened to you?  :lol:

Yep a bunch of Germans have the book already.  Look for a scanned copy being distributed at a file sharing site near you.

A rundown of the POVs is now available, with some really intriguing descriptions...  :ph34r:

If anyone wants to check them, they're here: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/bdi30b

Holy shit that is fucking awesome.  I totally did not see a few of those coming.

Damn it come on July 12th.

Jon Connington lives? He'd be the guy who knew what happened at the TOJ.

My conspiracy mongering had him dressing up as Rhaegar and dying in his place at the Trident.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Yeah I did not want to mention any of them by name.  I think though that is not the same guy but rather his son.  The POV of the epilogue was particularly shocking.  The fall of House /////?

What's with all the name-changing by the Greyjoys?  :huh:

He did it in AFFC also.  I kind of like it.

Why is it all that shocking?  There's no guarantee that the epilogue character bites it, though I would be immensely surprised if they did.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

So we're speaking spoilers for a book nobody has read yet?
Better avoid this thread from now on

I'm deliberately keeping vague about it, myself.  You won't see me posting any names, unlike Viking.   :rolleyes:

The book's been out for 15 years.  Snape kills Dumbledore.

No link just tradition and my opinion.  That POV is going down.
