Publication day is fast approaching, but if you'd like to get an even earlier look at Ten Little Astronauts, there may be a way: The Pigeonhole is offering a limited number of slots for a free serialised version of the novella starting on October 11th. There's a countdown running on their website right now.

I'm afraid that I was out of town when this went live a few days ago, so a considerable number of those slots - I think by far the majority - are already taken. However, right now there are still nearly 100 remaining. If you want to claim one and take the opportunity to read the book before general release, then please do! I'd like to make sure that as many as people as possible have the chance to read and review it, and naturally if anybody's getting an early look then I'd like it to be the people who helped make this all possible in the first place.

Do hurry, though: the number of slots available dropped by two in the time it took me to write this so I can't say for sure how long they'll last!
