Triax™ 2 will be at Palladium Open House.
I approved the printer proof copies of the cover and interior pages to Triax™ 2 yesterday afternoon. The book looks great. Absolutely great. I love the cover. The interior art is rockin’ and wow, is this book ever filled with tons of ideas, information, background, adventure ideas, gadgets and robots. I’ve included the description from our last press release in this Murmur so you can see what I’m talking about.
I guess working those insane hours to get the book to the printer by last Friday paid off. The credit goes to Palladium's printer, McNaughton and Gunn. To get a few thousand copies of a 192 page book in three or four weeks is a fast turn around. To get it in TWO is unheard of. I have to admit, I can hardly believe it myself. When I thanked one of my reps for the super-fast turnaround, she smiled and said, “Kevin, you’ve been a customer for 27 years, we know how important it is for you to have this book for your Open House, so of course we’ll do everything we can to help you out. Besides, we love you.”
I blushed and said thanks again. It is great to work with a company that cares about its customers and where a 27 year business relationship still means something.
Triax™ 2 will be available at the Palladium Open House.
Triax™ 2 will ship to the rest of the world on Monday, May 3, 2010. (Sorry we can’t ship during the Open House.)
WARNING: If you pre-ordered a copy and buy one at the Open House, you’ll end up with TWO copies (one arriving in the mail a week after the POH). Of course, you can get the one signed by the authors and all but one of the artists.
Triax™ Two is the long awaited and hotly anticipated sequel to the hugely popular Rifts® World Book 5: Triax™ & The NGR (more than 100,000 copies sold). Fans want this book badly, and it is going to be a hot selling item. A ton of new weapons, vehicles, power armor, giant robots and much more make this a toy box Rifts fans will not be able to resist.
