What are the 13 books in the Complete Saga of Seven Suns?
The original series consisted of 7 big novels, which came out one per year, every year, from 2002–2008, and I also wrote a prequel, Veiled Alliances, first as a graphic novel and then as a short novel (2011). I took a break (?!) to write my giant Terra Incognita fantasy trilogy), and then returned to the Seven Suns universe to write a sequel trilogy, The Saga of Shadows (2014–2016), and I also wrote a bridge novel to connect the two series, Whistling Past the Graveyard (2016). In the years of work leading up to this reissue of the entire series, I wrote a brand new story set between books 3 and 4, Roamer’s Wrath.

When can I expect to receive my stuff?
The good news is that all elements of this campaign are already done. The books are written, edited, laid out, with completed covers and everything ready to go to print. We have already put in the print order for the two 150-copy deluxe sets and they are being manufactured right now. The projected delivery date is November 15, but there are a lot of factors with overseas printing and shipping, so that could change.
IF the books do arrive on time, there is a very good chance we can get them signed, numbered, and shipped out for Christmas. When you do your survey and pay for shipping, you’ll have the option to choose UPS 2-day (faster and more reliable, but more expensive), if you really want to be sure it’ll get there. Note, if you choose to pay over time, we don’t ship until the final installment has been paid, so that will delay delivery.
For the regular hardcovers and trade paperbacks, we will put in the printing order as soon as the campaign ends and we know the final quantities; we expect it’ll take the printer ~2 months to print and ship them.
Ebooks are all done and can be delivered to you immediately after you complete your survey.

What are the shipping costs and challenges?
This is a big set, 13 hefty volumes, which poses some challenges for shipping, especially internationally…but don’t worry, our team can solve them and we can give you options.
For US shipping, we can offer 2-day UPS for the fastest and most reliable delivery. Media Mail is a much less expensive alternative, though will take a little longer. Because of the high value of the Universe and Galaxy sets, we WILL add insurance on both Media Mail and UPS. If one of your deluxe books is lost or damaged, we will try to replace it with one of our spare copies until they run out.
Here are our estimates for shipping and handling:
Full set of all 13 books 2-Day UPS with insurance = $65-$100 Media Mail USPS, 5-10 business days = $33
Core set of 7 Novels 2-Day UPS with insurance = $45-$65 Media Mail USPS, 5-10 business days, $27
1-3 books 2-Day UPS with insurance = $25 Media Mail USPS, 5-10 business days, no insurance $10
Note, if you live far out in the hinterlands, UPS sometimes adds a surcharge for delivery.
The Deluxe Sets are already being printed and are due to arrive in November; I will ship them out as soon as they are signed and numbered. The trade paperbacks and hardcovers will be with two different printers, and we will mail out copies as soon as they arrive. Note that all items in this campaign are already FINISHED and ready to go, and we can submit the print orders as soon as the campaign is over.
International Shipping International shipping is expensive, and there’s nothing we can do about it. We use a broker, PirateShip, that gives us the best rates, and we don’t charge anything extra. This is the best we can do. Note, that the recipient is responsible for any tariffs or duties imposed, which vary widely from country to country.
Full set of all 13 books (will ship in two boxes, due to weight restrictions) Canada = $135 Rest of World = $175
Core set of 7 Novels Canada = $80 Rest of World = $95
1-3 books Canada = $34 Rest of World = $38

Are the books autographed?
Only the Galaxy and Universe sets are signed (and hand-numbered), and the extremely limited Seven Suns graphic novels. The rest of the books will drop-ship directly from the printer to you.
I am always happy to sign copies if you see me in person at one of my many book signings or convention appearances.

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
