Title: ch 4 and 5 - not a troll
Post by: Hagbard Celine on September 22, 2020, 01:59:18 PM

I wasn't trolling. If you go to the Kindle store using the Android app, there is a button that says download sample. The sample includes the first three chapters as well as chapter 4 and part of chapter 5. My screen grabs are too big to post here, and I don't have time to photoshop them smaller. But I will try to do it on my lunch break if people insist. I'm not sure why the thread was locked.

I wonder if it's because I preordered it

I don't see it in my android Kindle app, and I didn't pre-order it. Maybe it's been removed? I'm on a Samsung phone. OP, were you on a phone or a tablet? I suppose I'll go see if it works on my tablet now... :)

BATTLEGROUNDS IS OUT

By H.R. McMaster

I wonder if anyone has ordered the wrong book?

Somewhere out there is someone who is going to be very confused about receiving the second part of a novel of a long running urban fantasy series when they were expecting a weighty tome on US Foreign policy.

“But he isn’t even wearing a hat!!! The cover shows him wearing a hat!!!”

See if this works:

as someone else mentioned, I did not pre-order the book period so maybe let me download the sample?

Just fragments, a couple of paragraphs is all there is to see.

All of Chapter 4 is readable and a couple pages of chapter 5.  I just didn't screencap the whole pages because I thought it was against the rules here.

Perhaps your geolocation makes a difference as no one else can see it, including me. Are you using the kindle tablet?

It's a Google tablet, but definitely a tablet.  Pretty weird!

   Yeah, I get a huge black square in the middle of the page that says chapter four or five, and on either side a fragment of the first or last paragraphs of the chapter.  It also says that seventy percent of chapter four has been down loaded, but ninety percent of five, but none of that changes what I see on the screen.  I use an old desk top.

That would be wrong. You have to get it the hard way and read the complete chapter. And then suffer because you can not write about it.

A smartphone with a kindle app should work. No pre order necessary.

I can download a sample of Peace Talks, but I don't see anything similar for Battle Ground. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Maybe if my niblings are at my house when I get home, I can try one of their ipads. It's not really that big of a deal. My boss (me) didn't schedule a stressful all day long meeting this Wednesday like he did last time Jim released a book (what a jerk!), so I can stay up all night Tuesday and take Wednesday off.

Not doable on my iphone's kindle app.  Enjoy your access, we'll all be there soon.

This must be specific to Apple or something. I don't see it on my android kindle app

They might have location dependent content. I don’t know about kindle but Apple Books does. I live in Europe.

I live in Europe and have an apple iPhone and tablet, and ther is no preview.

Verify this by saying what the last word on Chapter 5 is.

Which I doubt anyone can do because nobody has claimed to have seen all of chapter 5, only all of 4.

Only three pages of chapter 5. It cuts of as soon as it starts getting interesting but chapter 4 is interesting with some implications for speculation going on at this moment.

Yup, but there are a lot of questions it doesn't answer as per the speculation.
