    Does anyone know whether this will be released in paperback in the United States? So far Amazon and other sites only have ebook preorder listings.

    I’m looking forward to this but I still don’t understand the logic of the ending. If you bring death to death surely you get death! Life to life equals life. Use numbers instead. 1 (life) plus 1 (life) equals 2 (life). But 0 (death) plus 0 (death) equals 0 (death)
    No still don’t get it lol

      I felt the same way. Death is the absence of life, being the absence of life to the absence of life and you get life?! How? Russell is really not great at finale’s.

      Sorry, should read.. I felt the same way. Death is the absence of life, bring the absence of life to the absence of life and you get life?! How? Death plus death has to death surely? Russell is really not great at finale’s

      The idea is meant to be that death is a negative number not zero. A negative time a negative makes a positive.

    With five books under my belt I’d be willing to give it a go if target would take a punt on a struggling indie author lol. Joking aside Shada would be a great addition

    Agreed, we need someone to do a Target Shada. How about a Trial-less Vervoids?

    I wonder if any of these are the abridged ‘Target Sized’ Shada?

      I think they will be all season two stories. Besides I doubt we will get a shada target book. Author Gareth Roberts posted controversial comments and was dropped by, essentially everyone in 2019

      It’s a bit of a shame, cause when you separate author from the art, his “Shada” novel was really good.

      I agree, the novel is great and a target version of it would be very welcome but in this day and age and i can’t see them taking a risk on the bad publicity it would engender

      They could, perhaps, get James Goss or someone else to do a new version, pared down to Target length…
