A navy commander reports he got his copy and stayed up to 2am reading it last night. Emailed me today.

Another blog reader had said a bit back that Amazon informed him that the book was coming. I pinged Neil Nyren and he said it sometimes happens. Not a bad thing, because the earlier the reading, the more possible good word-of-mouth spreads.

So heads up to everybody who ordered.

Yesterday I sent out signed copies from my personal stock to Sean, Dan Abbott, Lexington Green, Mark Safranski and H.R. McMaster.

Today I am flat on my back with muscle relaxants typing furiously.
