SoT book 7: Echoes of Eternity - Aaron Dembski-Bowden

[Mjasghar]

Wonder if we’ll see lotara mutate into the Captains chair - she’s clearly getting more and more corrupted. Can easily see her soul getting eaten by the Daemon spirit of the ship. Or becoming it. 

[Taliesin]

Sanguinius fighting Kabandha doesnt exclude him fighting Angron..

[DarkChaplain]

They also said this way back when Ka'bandha was announced, or at BL Celebration, that Sanguinius & Ka'Bandha had their big smackdown in Saturnine or somesuch already. WarCom has no clue about the ongoing Siege of Terra fluff, even if the book's already been out in Mass Market Paperback format. They're hardly fluffbunnies, those folks.

We finally have a confirmed date for Echoes of Eternity. Fnac has it for sale on the 3rd of September, so preorders will be up on the 27th: https://www.fnac.com/livre-numerique/a17297380/Aaron-Dembski-Bowden-Echoes-Of-Eternity#omnsearchpos=10

It will be a combined hardback and limited edition release, with the French and German editions also releasing the same day. The suits at GW must be beside themselves. Imagine the horror if all the major books experienced multiple delays, forcing BL to release multiple formats simultaneously like some sort of consumer friendly monster. I’m not sure the company would recover.

What a drag this has been - but at least we only have a few more weeks left to wait.  I can’t wait.  Hopefully the audiobook version will be out at the same time.

Checked my pre-order date and it was in October 2021. I really have no idea why it's so delayed. Especially knowing regular hardback already exists and some people have it.

[Fire Golem]

Well, here goes.

[Noserenda]

Im kinda impressed that the book has been available and none of it has leaked online

Yeah I am thankful for that, I'd be gutted if any of this book was spoilt after waiting so long for it.  The closer to the official release the more likely some other independent retailers may ship early and leaks become more likely.

Yes, LE always comes out initially for this series.  Sometimes alongside a wider release eg hardback and audio.

My pleasure! Hope there’s good internet service nearby! Funny enough I was expecting it to go up for sale on the 3rd, when I’m on holiday, but for once I lucked out.

Some of us can handle spoilers and this forum is usually pretty good at covering them by mod if a member slips up, it would be nice to get some indication of where its all going as im sure the audiobook will still be held back somewhat annoyingly and thats my preferred format these days.

[Taliesin]

Exciting that its finally coming out!

I got a notification from Audible saying that it was available to pre-order this morning. I got it on my wishlist but it was then delisted, so I am guessing that it was Audible testing everything making sure the upload is good, which indicates that it should be fairly soon, maybe aligning with the other formats

The internal map artwork was released in the Sunday preview, the map appears to depict Sangunius and Angron on opposite sides of the page - a possible foreshadowing of their battle?  No sign of Ka'banda in the artwork, although of course that doesn't mean it won't make an appearance in the story.

I've become more convinced that Ka'Bandha won't be in the book with every WarCom article mentioning his showdown with Sanguinius....

Is anyone in the Eastern Daylight Timezone familiar with when Black Library items go up on preorder?

Really hoping to snag one of these.

12:55 PM is when preorders go up for sale. Good luck!

[corvus.calvariam]

On the 27th? Thanks for the info!

Is going to your local GW still the best way to pre-order?

Taken from a prior thread - on the madness that is trying to pre-order:

If you're trying to get a physical copy, you will need to do some from the Games Workshop site proper, NOT the Black Library site.

ALL physical books have gone through the main GW Webstore since 2020.

You will want to be refreshing the site on your browser around 10 AM, your region. In general, new items go up for pre-order at 10 AM. It's not unheard of for things to go up a few minutes before, though. Make sure you're logged in and done whatever captcha is necessary before.

If (when) you find yourself in some queue program, hang tight and do not spam refresh. It'll cycle you through automatically as your place in "line" progresses.

You can find all new items on their New and Preorders tab. However, I would probably recommend going to the Black Library tab instead, and set your filters (the "Refine" bar on obile browsers, if you're on your phone) accordingly for Pre-Orders. This is to help pick pertinent books out from new model pre-orders.

Bon chance.

I remember the last time I pre-ordered something, (Warhawk I think) the local stores computer didn’t have a queue or is that pointless now?

Depends on the time zone. In the US I've never had to go into a queue because there isn't enough traffic for one to be needed. I would imagine the UK release is probably the only one with a queue because most warhammer fans live in the UK.
