Thank you for delivering an ebook to hold over the paperback kickstarter backers in the mean time. This is a great read.

Have these snippets been brought to attention? Is there a dedicated mechanism to share these anomolies before the ink dries on the physical editions?

Just about finished with the book, pretty mindblowing applying it in past situations and dynamics. The part about India and China having a much higher ratio of Gammas. I've lived in both, can't articulate exactly what causes this. Is it because of the oppressive level of filial and societal expectations?

I don't concern myself with the WHY.

You sold me on the part about being picked up by a pretty Norwegian girl

Congratulations on the release of this book, Vox! As a fellow writer (albeit only of technical tracts), I find the works with the longest gestation times are usually the most satisfying to complete. This has clearly been a labor of love for you.

But I'll decline to read any excerpts until I have the paper book in my hands and I can read the whole thing outdoors on a sunny day. (I don't eat foie gras off my laptop monitor either.)

I'm only a few chapters in and I've already learned a new word ... perquisite.

I bought it now and I have read 18%.

I am so incredibly grateful. Fiction and non-fiction. Books describing women as they are and men as they are, without any personally dreamy, inaccurate fluff.

Just be quiet, humble and read what the Dark Lord says. I will give my friends copies of this book.

Left a five star and dropped some words. Should show up on Amazon in a day or two. Looking forward to seeing how print Sigma Game is formatted. Hypergamouse came out well, good pages, solid color, nice edge illustrations. So worried at first that you got blitzed and I wouldn't be able to leave a review, but good to know it's just ww3 and not personal.

Unavailable in Canada, happy to get by NDM when it's up. Congratulations on this outstanding accomplishment to the whole team that got this out into the world.

In "How the Ranks Respond": The sigma response has always been how we dealt with conflict. As a result, there is almost never any conflict.

Reading the section on corporate gamma containment now, and it makes a lot of sense. I know a family where the father is a gamma who had a hard time keeping a job. He finally landed an HR position that he's kept for a few years now, mainly because he works from home. The general consensus is that if he had to be in the office, he would have been fired ages ago.

Cannot access book on Amazon. Something went wrong. Can't even find you be searching your name

Three big Amazon data centers have been destroyed in the Gulf. It appears to be causing a variety of problems on Amazon.

It's available now!!

I'm not satisfied with the book. I was a Kickstarter backer of the leather edition and want a refund.

Vox Day's avatar

No problem. Shoot us an email and we'll provide you with one.

jak's avatar

What's the email? I sent an email to help @ arkhavencomics several days ago and haven't gotten a response

Finished SG in two sittings. Fantastic book and a bargain at $4.99 on the Kindle. Thank you Vox.

Especially enjoyed the bravo and omega chapters - 90% of my focus has been on delta/gamma so it was great to round things out. Omega is a deeply fascinating rank.

On kindle (I bought through German Amazon) the whole text is highlighted in a light gray. I see this sometimes where older titles have the whole foreword or preface highlighted in a gray box, but here the whole text is highlighted in a gray box. Is that intentional?

Other than that, really enjoying it. Completely worth the wait.
