If you’re new to me (or to Maelstrom) PLEASE read this first. It details Maelstrom’s history and mission statement. I give readers notice a month or two before the books go up for pre-order, so that folks have time to save money ($125). Which brings me to:
This is a test of the Maelstrom Early Warning System… If you wish to pre-order Maelstrom Set III when it goes on sale later this summer, you should set aside the money now… This is only a test. If this had been the actual pre-ordering period, you would have been given a link to click so you could buy the books…

I don’t give a damn about the Keene guy, but Geoff Cooper? Consider me sold!
I was in a financial bind last year and unfortunately missed out. How much should I be looking to save for Set III?
Dave: The safe bet is around $150. Maybe a little less.
Killer line-up for Set 3! Congrats to Brian and Coop!
I’m in!
Thanks for the heads up. Money officially set aside.
I’ve been looking forward to this set! Can’t wait!
The set will be $125 plus shipping (projected to be $8 US, $18 Canada, $35 international). Please do NOT remit payment until the official page is up and made public (or you receive your private ordering link).
Specific dates for ordering will be announced in about 3 weeks. Brian and I will post cover images at that time.
Approximate ordering date is 6 weeks from now. Those who bought set II directly will get a link several days before the public.
Matching numbers will be available to those who bought set number II in most circumstances. (The exceptions being: numbers 1-50 are specifically reserved for active master memberships and active Thunderstorm booksellers will receive their same numbers upon request).
Currently, only four booksellers will be getting the third set: Camelot Books (US), Bad Moon Books (US), JeffNJoys (UK), and Jack Staynes (UK). If you received your books from a company not on that list and want to continue receiving your number, I encourage you to buy the third set direct from Thunderstorm.
If you didn’t buy set I or II, but are interested on getting on-board for this unique Brian Keene line, more than likely there will be some copies available at announcement. But I encourage you to be prepared because Set I sold out in 72 hours and Set II sold out in approximately 5 days. Set III is likely to follow that same pattern. After the secret link is provided to set II buyers, it will be first-come first served when the links go public.
Obviously, more to come…
I never read Deluge when it was free on the site, so I have been waiting patiently for this one. I’ll be in for one set!
WHOOHOO!!
I’m in.
Can’t wait for SUNDANCING. Looking forward to this, Brian and Paul.
I’m really lookin’ forward to more meta-fiction!
Can’t wait!!! I started reading Deluge- but didn’t keep up with it.
but there will be a cheaper book version of deluge? give us non-collector types a chance to read this!!!
JERRY: Oh, absolutely! Deadite will release Deluge in paperback and digital this coming Winter (probably December).
