I just want to say how much I'm looking forward to this book.  I haven't been disappointed by a StarDock game yet, and I'm willing to bet Elemental will be an instant classic.  We should support Destiny's Embers so that maybe there can be sequels.  I'm always looking for an original and interesting fantasy fiction that doesn't derive too much from recycled material (i.e. Lord of the Rings). 

Destiny's Embers will be a nice companion to the game, I especially love the campaign based on the book idea.  In fact, if there are sequels that have campaigns in each one that would be a great way to sell them.  Now all we need to do is get Peter Jackson to make a live action movie   (or anyone not named Uwe Boll). 

Ok: with this remark, you'll get Brett Rattner then.

And on topic I shall add my voice to those asking for the possibility to pre-order Limited Edition + Book together.

Also available to UK folks from Amazon too, just pre ordered myself

Here's the link :-

Amazon.ca is selling it which is good for us Canucks.

I like the bio too:

Brad Wardell is the President & CEO of Stardock, a Midwestern software company. Mr. Wardell is the lead designer of Elemental: War of Magic and is active in software development, designing and coding many Stardock products.  His other activities include being a Microsoft MVP, blogger, podcaster and featured columnist. Wardell is a graduate of Western Michigan University where he met his wife Debbie Wardell, with whom he has three children.  In his free time he enjoys beekeeping.

 

I always wondered why there was beehives as a city upgrade - which is totally cool as my son and I Love honey!

Good stuff. Already pre-ordered.

Sooo uhh...Audio Book? Audible has really spoiled me with such a great place to buy those...I don't really read many books these days.

why oh why is the kindle edition coming up as more money then the paperback?

this = MADNESS.

Can we order this through Impulse?

I guess I could fire up Impulse and check.

But I'm lazy.

pity, also want the book for my libraries.

and the game's australian release is the 9th of september (according to the info from several of my gameshop contacts)

Why not sell the ebook version through Impulse? Just a thought.

Glad I read this. I was under the impression the book did come with the Special Edition already. Guess I'll wait and see if I have to buy it seperately or not. No biggie though. The game's already coming with a bunch of cool stuff
