    I think there was a perfectly good reason. The pre-orders were cheaper than the full price, and they are cunts.

      My books are
      Star Trek Books All but i still need more
      Frank herbert's Dune Books

      i just need suggestions on good books im more Sci fi and stuff like the Doom, Star Trek dune type
      Im a HUGE star trek fan, but for some reasons the books just dont seem to hold my attention.
      And if your a nerd/geek and dont like dune you deserve to be stoned to death.

      Atm im reading a series of 7 books called "the wardstone chronicles" that are actually aimed at 12 year old, but ive noticed that as an older person you see a darker side to the story that kids wouldnt even notice, and TBH im really enjoying them.

                HAHAHA, ive seen the mirror universe stuff, but TBH thats my least favourite story arc in the shows.
                I was always a Fan of the federation vs klingon, the ferengi (not sure why they just interesting), and i like most the vulcan/ romulan stuff.

                  Sci fi.
                  David Webbers books are fun reads. The Honor Harrington series is good and well worth a ready by anyone who likes sci fi. Think Hornblower in space, I believe the Honor character is who Captain Janway was based on.

                  Jack Campbell The lost fleet series is more military Sci-Fi, well written.

                  Moving away from Military sci fi
                  C.J. Cherryh The Chanur Saga are some of the best sci fi books I've read recently. If you like star trak I'm certain you will love this, however this will be a much heavier read.

                  Alan Steele, Coyote is about a man trapped on an alian planet trying to get home and is also a good read.

                  In general if you are after fun easy reads anything by David Webber or David Drake is good.

                  If you liked Herberts Rama series I would also recommend the Evergence Trilogy and the Orphans Trilogy by Sean Williams & Shane Dix
