Why yes, yes I am posting about this again. It's OBVIOUSLY the most important news of the day!

Tanner is back, trying to live his life, but the military and a whole mess of aliens are here to trash his first Spring Break since the war!

NO MAN'S LAND is available in ebook and paperback now!

Started reading it just after midnight, had to struggle to not pull an all nighter for it. I'm enjoying the levels of "Done with this" that Tanner exudes

Mark Henderson

Yeah same issue as William. Great read so far and looking forward to consuming the rest tonight! Also love the “don’t give a ...” about your games as well as the tension created by all his love interests interacting.

Tobias Lounsbury

Pre-ordered a week ago it and got a notification at midnight that it was available. But I'm too darn busy to read it right now. I'm hoping the audio works out cause I can work that into my schedule.

They just HAD ta pick Sping Break ta git up to some Nonsense!

MrPrime

Fantastic! Congratulations.

Robert Grimes

So I bought it on amazon, but is there someplace I could actually get an epub instead to read on my preferred app?

Lainey

Im already finished *cries* what will I do now…. But seriously you are such an amazing writer. Can’t wait for whatever you do next.

Ray Chen

I just finished. It is brilliant!! Well done and thank you! What's next? :-)

Mark Henderson

OMG, your dry humor just slays me sometimes. “We will protect the no-spoilers,” Another great read. Thank you.

Mark Henderson

Can you imagine the joy of stumbling across Elliott’s creations in mass and binge reading a whole series? If left alone two books a day is a great day. I’ve done that with yours when I’ve needed a pickup. Thanks for what you do.

Mr. Flopsy Fudge

Are good intentions the next book then? I have to say i love your books

Karl-Johan Norén

Some thoughts: 1. Pretty much non-stop action and rising tensions from chapter 12 onwards. While it makes for an exciting read, I'm not sure it's a good thing in the long term. 2. I'm thinking Tanner (and friends) now have some variety of the Honorverse inflation problem—they are now simply to influential and valuable for the stories that made him popular. 3. Nearly all of the aliens are smarter, wiser, more physically capable, or technologically advanced than humans. On the other hand, recovering from a galactic war is one way to handle the Fermi paradox while still having aliens in your space opera.

Finished at 3:45am today. I'm suffering now, but it was absolutely worth it. I can never get enough of Tanner's snark. Loved every bit of it! Thank you so much!

Mr. Flopsy Fudge

Hey eliot. I do have your books on kindle. To help you i will start buying them on audible

P.J. Shapiro

Another fantastic read, and a worthy addition to the series. Congratulations!

Robert Grimes

Now that I've finished the book, a minor thing I wanted to bring up was that it felt like there were a considerably higher than average number of typographical mistakes. I'm afraid I don't have a list or anything since I just read past them to find out what happened next, but it seemed like there were a bunch of sentences that were missing words or something. Anyone else notice anything like that?

Anthea Strezze

That was such an excellent story!!! And I have to say I would really love to read a graduation speech by Tanner!

Skye Kahoali'i

Just bought. You and William Arand are pretty much the only authors I'll buy outright without sampling on KU, first. Mahalo nui, Elliott.

Matt Flannagan

Alas, I didn’t have the time to finish it until a few days after it was out, but it was every bit as enjoyable as I was hoping. Found myself tearing up a couple times and grinning to myself as well. Looking forward to the paperback version as well- and hoping it fits size wise with the previous books. Thank you.

Dennis Erwin

Instant buy like every Kay book, and worth every penny (and then some.) As usual you write the best dialog in the industry. As Noren wrote above, it'll be interesting to see where you go from here, as Tanner is likely too influential/famous to just slink back to managing his dorm and going to class. There are now multiple powerful alien species that likely only trust him and Alicia. Just one of the best science fiction series currently being written. Period.

Bradley Richard

That last page, now I gotta see what the speech would be

My comment was a bit simplistic in its approach, though. I think there are really several interconnected angles to the issue of what might be termed Weberian story inflation (not that it has seemed to hurt David Weber's writerly career any). The first is the raising of stakes. It's easy to do so quantitatively in the beginning, but relatively soon that will fail to be dramatically interesting. But this book raised the stakes to the entire Union government (such as it is) and the relation with several alien species. The moving parts problem, and that is probably where I felt this most keenly. The earlier books showed elements of the world around Tanner, but it was primarily in order to make sense of Tanner's world and his actions. With Last Man Out we got a new storyline, but it connected strongly with Tanner's. But here we had another new storyline going on with the Assembly and Phoenix, and it was only really connected with Tanner's story in a deus ex machina way, with Limanto reining Roberts in. More moving parts mean more complex plots, longer books, and more effort for the reader to keep track of it all. The third is perhaps the closest to what I first mentioned. Tanner started out as a small cog in a big machine who says "fuck it" and starts to kick the largest cog he can find. But now he is recognised as a pretty big cog by himself, so where does that leave reader empathy for him, or his own self-image? Or the satisfaction for the reader seeing the small cog kicking ass?
