Stargate Atlantis novel news

[wraithfodder]

Alas, bad Stargate Atlantis news... (yes, besides the cancellation). The novels #4-Halcyon and #5-Exogenesis are out of print for the foreseeable future. In other words, unless there is suddenly a market for thousands of copies (which is what the print run would require), you have to shop used book stores. Right now, greedy people are charging $70 and more for a used paperback. Grrr!  (oh and I got this news direct from Stargatenovels.com)

Sorry!

Halcyon and Exogenesis

[(Anonymous)]

I got both these books new from Waterstones book store in the UK. I am from the United states, so the shipping is what cost me a lot for both books, with shipping, I paid $70, but then found out that I could of gotten if for a lot less cause the guy on the phone was charging me like 2nd day air which I didn't need.

What I did is went to www.waterstones.com typed in stargate atlantis and all of what they sold came up. Both books were out of stock at the time (July 2008) online so I clicked on check availability in branch. Then I emailed the stores in which several responded that they did have them in stock or that they were coming in (someone over there is publishing them or they have them in storage). Anyway, I ended up calling cause I was not patient (of course I called from work so it didn't cost me anything, but I don't recommend this cause it cost my company $95 for me to get the book, but don't tell).

I had no problem, got the book in a few days. The only problem with emailing is the paying for it thing, it is not a secure site, but I was willing to take that chance. Exogenisis was worth it, but Halcyon was so/so.

Good luck if you try this. I just went on the site to make sure I spelled it right and it seemed like Exogenisis is available and Halcyon you have to click the branch thing.

Good luck!
