Stargate Atlantis/SG-1 Novels

[wraithfodder]

Just a status. Got an order form and thought I'd share the tidbits.

The following books are now out of stock at www.stargatenovels.com - which probably means they're out of print.

SG-1 #6 SIREN SONG
SG-1 #7 SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST

SGA #3 THE CHOSEN
SGA #4 HALCYON
SGA #5 EXOGENESIS

i think i got all of those.. but the newest 3
are not getting picked up by my bookstore

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

That sucks. I've never found them locally so always order from the publisher. In fact, the latest order sheet they sent me has Angelus listed already...

[parisindy.livejournal.com]

its costs so much for delivery that's why i always tried to do local or amazon.ca

if they don't come by summer i might try and order them from the publisher

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm in the States so it's easier. I figure the price of postage is what I'll pay in gas for a round trip a few towns over to find it in a store! ;)

[parisindy.livejournal.com]

yeah i usually got to pay more for delivery

really how fair is that! hehe i am only 4 hours from your border lol

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sorta like if I buy from outside of the country...

This site might be of help.

If not you could get a used copy from Amazon.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Might be helpful for fans seeking those copies. So far, I have all the SGA books :)

[jedi40.livejournal.com]

That is why I posted it.

And I have all of them as well. Can't wait for the next two to come out.

I have all the SGA ones - Barnes & Noble carries them but you have to special order. Now I need to go check which SG-1 ones I'm missing. To tell you the truth, the fanfics out there are better than the novels :)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

So far none of the novels have made me go "gah!" and want to toss them across the room. I find most an easy read and most are enjoyable. A couple have been 'meh' and yes, some fanfic writers work surpass the novels!

I finally got my copy of SGA #10 (I think that's the number) from Amazon. I really need to check out that site you listed.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

The publisher has been the best way for me to order. They take charge cards, checks, and they're quick.

[katikat.livejournal.com]

I only have got "The Chosen". The rest is unavailable everywhere and used it costs 40 pounds at least and that's just crazy. It really irks me.

I sent them an email and asked about the availability - I especially want the SGA books. They told me that yes, these books are out of print but they are exploring other ways to make them available, like through kindle - which is moot for me since I don't have kindle *sigh*

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

40 pounds?! That's insane. I know that to do a reprint means making thousands of copies, which isn't cost efficient for a TV tie-in.

[gospikey.livejournal.com]

It it stupid for my non-English brain to ask what 'through kindle' means? :o

It's a nearly $400 electronic reader. You can google it and probably find a lot on it.

[gospikey.livejournal.com]

*Googles*

WTF?

Better just let people buy it for a few bucks in .pdf format, or something. Though I still very much want to feel a book in my hands/lap when I'm reading.

Thanks for the reply. :-)

As wraithfodder said, it's a special electronic reader and as far as I know, kindle books are specifically made for this reader, you can't read them on your computer, PDA or any other sort of readers - but that's just as far as I know, it could be possible.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I don't even think I heard of a Kindle till a month or so ago. I'm so in the technological dark age ;)

[gospikey.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Barns and Noble and Borders have them but they have to be ordered. They don't really keep them in stock. I inquired at Barns and Noble and the books are on list to come out.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I had inquired via Borders on a couple SGA books but no one had them. Definitely no longer avaialble.

[timespirt.livejournal.com]

Barnes & Noble have listings of SGA 3-12. They tell you to search their dealer network (probably can search for 1-2 as well) for 3-5, but 6-10 are listed in stock but not in store and 11-12 are not out yet.

I used to those three SGA novels, but after trying to read one or two of them and hating it (I think it was mostly Halcyon that I disliked), I gave them away to other fans. I'm not such a big reader anyways, but I do have a lot of Doctor Who novels (and some older novelizations as well). I liked them far better than the SGA ones I tried to read. Anyways, just my random opinion :-)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

no problem. I haven't tried the WHO books yet as they're so darned expensive!

[gospikey.livejournal.com]

I want Halcyon and Exogenesis, but I'm not into the books that long yet, so basically by the time I started ordering, those two were gone... :(

Perhaps every site should put up a link to a petition-like thing, and an 'only sign if you plan on buying the books when they're being reprinted' at the top of it.

I'm reading Reliquary at the moment.

Spikey

[gospikey.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I just checked the site of my country that has the books.

It says Siren song is in reprint, and might still have Survival of the Fittest.

Of course, until I tried ordering Halcyon a second time, it also said that it still had that book, so...

I have three of the SGA novels: Blood Ties, Mirror Mirror and Nightfall (the newest one). I haven't started on Nightfall yet, but so far I haven't been disappointed with any of the SGA books.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

So far I've liked them all. Some have been better than others but none have been "gah, I spent money on this?" which I have said with some books, which is why I rarely buy fiction.

[teenygozer.livejournal.com]

I really enjoyed both Martha Wells SGA novels: Reliquary and Entanglement. I wish they'd get her to write another!
