Yeah, I noticed.  Publisher schedules... kinda suck.

As @Just Al noted, I accidentally posted Amazon.ca link, so that's $$$CDN.  Even so... printing costs are going up, lately (and the stupid tariffs may make that worse).

I'm going to get it from the library, I think.

Or maybe sign-up to Audible -- looks like there's an offer to get the audiobook "free" with a new account (the wife & I have been sharing her account, so I can get one and it'll be new).

I'll likely pick up a hardcopy later, from the second-hand / discount market.

For example:  Powell's Books is now selling copies of Peace Talks for $13.95 (MSRP is $28).

God help us all on the tariffs, and if the new powers that be have their way on Social Security, being able to afford the next Dresden novel won't be the only thing I have to worry about. :(

I have the hope that it is going to be released before that...like for Christmas.
Unless I am mistaken, the kindle had been U$ 15 (or around that) since forever. I was counting with that amount.

Amazon often uses placeholder dates. I suspect this is one.

Maybe "Twelve Months" also means the length of time between Butcher posting that he finished the book and its release date.

That was my thought, too.

Sadly, it looks like the info is accurate:

I just can't believe it. So I will keep my hope.

Cool. I wonder what the cover will be.

At first I was a bit shocked at the release date. But it seems to be consistent on several sellers' websites.
That's almost 12 months after he finished writing. I thought it would be faster considering there is supposed to be a lot of pre-editing due to the beta readers.
I would have expected to have the book by late October or November 2025.
At least there is a date now. I am happy to see this.

I fear not. The former placeholder date was 2027. They changed it recently. But if it changes to an earlier date, I would not mind. At all. 😇 Just saying. 😅

Yes, I do not remember any other JB book where the gap between him sending it to the editor and the release date was so wide.
