So they realized they had let go of a golden goose seconds before it laid the egg and now went back and reacquired it. Hilarious.
Right. I was wondering why they took Daw back
Yeah but yesterday’s price is not today’s price baby
And paid more for it 😂 oh the power of booktube!
Started book one and it’s epic! My local Amazon had books 3,4 on kindle for $5 so I bought them! But I am happy to pay full kindle price for the entire set!!
Congratulations, Christopher. Seeing you succeed is a real joy!
Sounds like Daw realized they let a golden goose get away. Hopefully they paid the price
I appreciate those of you watching out for me in the comments. Rest assured, I am well taken care of, and the situation is well in hand.
Baen is legendary for picking up DG and I will always keep that hardcover edition up. Glad you are getting the attention and respect you deserve!
Christopher,
This series has really made a mark on me. I am so glad I found it. Thank you Patrick and Daniel for showing me the ways of the Halfmortal.
Well, you know I’ll be getting the DAW hardback of DG when it comes out-gotta have that matching set. God bless Baen for giving you the chance to finish the series properly and good job to DAW for bringing you back! Will Dave Butler still be able to edit you over there?
We shall see!
The fact that the Baen hardcover of Disquiet matches as best as it possibly could, despite the unavoidable size difference, was already pretty cool. But I have definitely got to get myself a DAW hardcover version that matches exactly! This is great news tbh. Only downside is some folk who want a perfectly matching set may have to fork out money twice for Disquiet gods, but them's the breaks.
Awesome news! I intend to proudly display my Baen DQ in the lineup, because I think it tells a remarkable story.
Same. It will always remain as the first edition of that book.
Christopher channeling his inner Hadrian with the announcement of us having to wait for what comes next had me asking myself "Must everything you say sound like a Eudoran Melodrama?" Thanks for the great news Christopher!
I think I’ll buy the entire series twice just out of the sheer joy of having such beautiful matching covers.
I am so happy I could cry! Seriously I am completely floored that they heard the demands of the people and will reprint the entire series again in hardcover!!! Freaking amazing 👏👏👏
Wherever your books go, I will follow.
Probably not alone on that count.
Halfmortal has returned. AGAIN!
What a whirlwind this has been!! So glad they’re all going to have one home though 😍 And I was NOT ready for that teaser in the end!!
Your audiobook narrator is so good. I found out he also narrates Elric of Melnibone and bought it immediately. He brings the Sun Eater series to life and highly recommended people buy both the physical books and the audio. 👍
A surprise to be sure but a welcome one. Great news, Halfmortal.
I guess I’m going to be a DAW stan now - glad they came to their senses.
A huge congratulations Christopher- the final book should be epic!.
For all lovers of the series who have not read any of the novellas or short stories - you don't know what you are missing.
The Baen Disquiet Gods will be a collector’s edition! ☺️
Happy to hear, this series is nothing short of excellent, been recommending it like crazy and Disquiet gods was definitely a treat.
Great to hear man! I can’t imagine how stressful the last few years have been but it seems like everything is starting to come up Ruocchio!
Just started Empire of Silence and am loving it! Beautifully written!
Congrats Chris! Can't wait to read more from you.
Congratulations, Christopher! Well deserved. Can't wait to see what the future holds for you.
I wish some publisher would take the rights and bring the books to Brazil
Wonderful news Christopher. The ending has got me super excited!:)
I am happy so long as Christopher is happy. Congratulations!!
I can't wait for everything to come (reprints, new Sun Eater project, and new original stories)!
I just started reading your series and happy for you to have this win in publishing! Looking forward to being able to get a full set once book 7 comes out
This is my favorite series I’ve never read. Can’t say how much I’m anticipating diving into this story. I’m happy for you and wish you the best!
FINALLY! I can buy a new copy of Howling Dark on hardcover. Not some crappy pre-owned ripped up copy for $500+ from a scalper. It'll be great to have the whole series on my shelf!!!!
Sounds like a win from here, kudos Christopher! Shout out to Baen for being amicable to taking you on when they did, and ultimately working out a deal with DAW I presume. Publishing is a wild journey.
Congratulations, I hope this was financially lucrative for you, you deserve it.
I don’t envy you having to deal with this BS. The more I learn about the mainstream publishing industry, the less I like it.
Around the end of last year I read all of your Sun Eater novels in about the space of a month or two, and didn’t read much else until Disquiet Gods released. I hadn’t been so obsessed with a series since I first read The Stormlight Archives. Thank you for writing such an amazing story dude!
Amazing. Congratulations, Christopher.
I am with the other commenter's. Baen is staying on my shelf. Kudos to them for working with you.
I hope DAW and Penguin have learned a valuable lesson from this.
Can't wait to see how it looks!
SO HAPPY to hear this.
Amazing news, Chris!!! Congratulations man
Whoa! I hope it's all green pastures for you Mr. Ruocchio!
Congrats Christopher!
I would be so incredibly happy to have a full DAW matching hardcover set, omg! This is great news!
Huge congrats Christopher. Although it’s pretty funny, you’re being a great sport about it all!! Can’t wait for more successes from you down the line!
Whoa this is wild! Love seeing DAW admit their mistake and going all in on you and Sun Eater into the future. And not gonna lie, happy I'll be able to get a matching hardcover set 😅
Congrats!
Wow. This certainly indicates that more hardcover reprints will hopefully be coming!
2 and 3 are next month. I goofed the edit and cut that part somehow.
@@SunEaterBooks Awesome! Will Quail Ridge books be doing the autograph copies? I ordered Empire of Silence right away from Amazon cause I did not want to miss it, but now that I know there will be stock of 2 and 3, I might splurge get an autographed copy!
@@Thxlbx Yes. They will carry my stuff as long as we're both in business.
The thematic parallels of this news to Hadrian is hilarious
Fantastic news. I hope they match this move with a concerted effort to rebuild trust and respect.
As someone who is new to publishing - this is whackier that the film industry I just left!
Congrats dude
ps you're a tease
yooo let's go. I literally just found out yesterday that Disquiet Gods was not published under DAW and that the impending paperback would not match my current set and now I hear about this. excellent news!
Awesome news 🎉🎉
Wow. Cool to know my Baen hardcover of dq will be a collectors item!
Hopefully, its not with the same Editor.
It is not.
Nice. I've just started into Ashes of Man. I've been separating Sun Eater books with others so it spreads out a bit, knowing that the final one is still a way off. I'm loving the whole lot.
It's almost as if something is pulling from all of the books that Christopher could have written, and all of the publishers that ever could have taken up the books and putting them here, it this timeline, to see the series finished.
I love everything about this video
My heart is filled with joy for my US friends that the matching set gods can be appeased in the fullness of time. 👍
Being along for the journey is the craziest part of this whole thing for me tbh hahaha
i already have two hardcover copies of Disquiet Gods (Baen version and a signed UK copy) might as well get a third one when the DAW version comes out lol
Yes!
Glad DAW realised their mistake. I'm happy for Christopher - his transparency and engagement with his readers is a breath of fresh air. Great that the momentum of the series is continuing to build.
DG Baen version about to be a display piece! Great news!
It’s not great news to me. Feels scummy. DAW could have taken care of you the first time if they really wanted to. They were too busy putting all their eggs in the Dune basket again.
DAW doesn't have Dune.
Well, I'm sorry to have disappointed you, but as the other fellow here said, DAW doesn't have Dune. I believe Ace does.
@@SunEaterBooks ahh that’s right. Thank you for correcting. 🙏
There’s Something Coming! 🎉
Why would you sell it back to them? Fuck em. You're killing it on your own!
I didn't sell anything. They bought the rights from Baen. It's more analogous to a trade in baseball or football than anything. It was Baen's decision, and the deal was good for all involved.
@@SunEaterBooks well shame on Baen then, DAW doesn't deserve you. Hopefully they won't screw you over again!
Dang…I’ve been collecting the series in paperback but maybe I should pickup that hardcover for curiosity purposes
Christopher sounds like Billy Mayes: “But wait there’s more”
That was somewhat deliberate.
Awesome news. Any idea in when we can expect the hardcover reprints of the earlier books? I just started the series and am reading my paperback Howling Dark, but I’d love to get a hardcover copy.
2 and 3 are coming next month. I accidentally cut that bit out of the video.
Will they let you sell more books through kickstarter or will you still be limited?
That has not changed.
Waiting for hardcover release of the lesser devil🤞🤞🤞
It's on the to-do list, but John Ballaran is busy illustrating the HD Diamond Edition first!
Love seeing this series succeed! Is the art for the Daw VS Bain editions going to be different? Or it mostly just the publisher's name on the spine and the size/hardcover/softcover differences?
No, the cover should be the same.
That definitely surprised me. I guess DAW is being clingy to the series and rightfully so! 😄
Incredible news! I already bought my hardcover copy of EOS and it’s sitting pretty in my bookshelf!
Now, do you have dates when HD and DIW will be available for sale in Hardbacks again?
August. Sometime.
I just wish we could get the US edition hardcovers over here in Europe cheaply. The UK editions really don't look as good on the shelf. Love the series btw!
Alas, I fear there's not much that can be done about that.
Congrats! Btw, will there be a continuation of the mass market editions in the future?
I'm afraid not. DAW has ceased all mass markets across the board, not just for me.
Sun Eater is such a roller coaster....even irl
Does this mean no e-arc for shadows upon time :(((
That was my first thought. At the same time, I'm happy for Christopher. It'd be very cool if Betsy herself became his editor.
I am afraid so.
How is it selling overall? Because I just had a discussion with one of the publishers in Hungary and they cry about “punishing long series that are not sure to be a best seller just hyped on social media”. It’s an interesting topic. Especially now that booktok is in the race and the selling will go up and the second hard cover is coming out and this news? Why would a publisher pick up a series if it’s not a banger for their budget? For me it’s not a real thing because I read anyway. But it would be nice to share here too. This is just an awesome series and as fast as you write…? 😁
This is such good news as I’ve been checking daily on all resell sites for books 2-4 hardcovers (US) that’s are in good condition and not $100+. So excited!
I beg you that the full series all matches up for the paperback volumes.
That is one of the side effects of this trade, as I said in the video.
Yo I have a very important lore question, in Empire of Silence - toward the beginning - Hadrian is with his brother watching Colosso. The brother is drinking some blue sports drink, if I recall... Now are we talking Powerade, Gatorade, or some sort of Alani / Celsius blue raspberry sort of deal? Thanks.
The answer is lost to future history, I fear.
Congrats! Huge news.
Will this mean there will be a reprint of the UK hardcovers at some point? I need a Howling Dark and Demon in White to complete my set.
Unfortunately, UK reprints of 2 and 3 are very unlikely. Outside 200 signed copies, none were ever printed at all, so it's be a first printing, and Gollancz lost the series to Head of Zeus, so they have no incentive to reprint--especially considering the Broken Binding editions coming later this year.
@@SunEaterBooks Fair enough. Thank you for the info.
@@frankiasparri866 Yeah, sorry man. There's really nothing I can do about it, I fear.
AWW YEAH 😎🤘
Bombshell!
This is pretty embarrassing considering all the shitting on DAW we've done on Discord.
But was any of it undeserved?? 😂😂
@@iSamwise Nope lmao.
🎉
Something is coming. It's been coming since the last 6 books🎉
Joke’s on them, I already paid exorbitant prices for a matching hardcover set
So is there any chance we can get books 4-7 in mmpb? I have those and was super bummed when I realized I would not be able to finish the series with my preferred format. 😢
I'm afraid not. DAW has discontinued all mass markets, not just mine.
Will the new book series be of the same universe? ☺️ Can we get a Switch spin off? I miss Switch so much!
I can't possibly say.
As for Switch, it's possible he might get a short story down the line somewhere, but anything longer than that isn't likely.
I really hope someone somewhere in the business meetings about this obtaining rights situation mentioned that there are endings and this is one at least once
Has Christopher been The Halfmortal all along?
I am invincible.
By the mighty thighs of the palatine women! The great book necromancy has occured!
I need Howling Dark hardcover reprint!
Next month. I accidentally cut that bit out of the video.
@@SunEaterBooks Oh my god! Can’t wait! Also any chance of getting Demon in White hardcover reprint, as that will be the only book left in the series i don’t own hardcover copy of
@@starwarsfan9575 2 and 3 are both next month.
Will the daw hardcovers of disquiet gods have the first edition numbering?
They won’t be first editions though
No, as they're not first editions.
This seems like a good move for Chris and the series, but I hate to see Baen lose such a good series as well.
Will DAW sell eARC for the next book much before the release date like Baen?
I am afraid not. That's a Baen thing.
@@SunEaterBooks oh! Maybe you can convince them to think of SunEater starved fanboys and do an eARC 😀
Cue thanos meme?
