Signing and Shipping

Scott has finished autographing all the books, and we've started shipping them out. Your physical perks should show up in the next week or so (might be a bit longer for international shipments). We expect to send out vouchers (via email) to those who wanted the PDF e-books.

Once again, many thanks to our backers. Stand by for further updates.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Smallish panel. Elvis croons his last line.

Elvis Head (electronic): Welcome to my world

Panel 2
Large panel. The face of Elvis' Head bursts into a cloud of brightly lit objects covered in shifting vortices of colors, shapes and images. At the margins, musical notes again (won't try to score 'Entrance of the Gladiators').

Voice (electronic:) Ladeeeeeez and Gen-tle-mennnnn ...

Panel 3
Cut to Fiorella and Doris, looking on with expressions a mix of astonishment and a growing delight.

Panel 4

Voice: For today only, entrance to the resort is free to the crews and passengers of the 372 ships who followed Rock Elvis here.

Voice: You may stay up to three Terran days as our guests.

Panel 5
Large Panel: In the foreground, a Monolith (100x400x900 meters), attached to an air skin which envelopes several other shapes in the background. The monolith is black and illuminated by lighted strips along its edges.

Voice: Please tune to traffic control frequency, 126.625 AM, and proceed to the Monolith for docking instructions.

Panel 6
Show a line of ships approaching the Monolith, the Split-Tail among them. Points of light are starting to appear on the Monolith's broad surface.

Caption: As the first ships approached ...

Panel 7
Medium c/u on Fiorella:

Fiorella: My god, it's full of stars!
