Just a reminder that! Accepting the Lance, the twenty-second novel in the long-running and much-feted Liaden Universe® created and co-written by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller, will be published in hardcover and ebook editions*on December 3, 2019.
Uncle Hugo’s SF Bookstore will once again be taking pre-orders for signed and/or personalized copies. The order page will go live after Labor Day.
We know from the volume of email we’re getting that there’s a lot of pent-up demand for this title. No, sorry, we cannot “push for an earlier release**,” nor are we open to “selling our draft.” Waiting is, and patience definitely is. December will happen soon enough.

However! We have heard from an early reader of the book and we thought it only fair to share her reaction to it, so here you are:
ACCEPTING THE LANCE is a tour de force! So many threads woven, so many pieces moved on the board, old and new friends met, this book is an extraordinary installment in a brilliant series. I stayed up till 3 a.m. reading it and I have zero regrets. An incredible ride of a book!

*Audible will be issuing an audio edition, but we have not been informed of the date. Probably there will be an eARC; we have not been informed of a date for that, either.
**Actually, Baen is doing VERY WELL to have gotten this title out in 2019, considering that we didn’t even turn it in until February, 2019.
