Is there a North American publisher yet? Don't see it coming up in the UK.

I've never understood those people singing "You'll never walk alone" as though that wasn't a curse.

Heads up: as pointed out to me by @attenuated.bsky.social, @aptshadow.bsky.social's SHROUD is on US ebook sale for $3, so I got some. But since this is my favorite hard SF book this year, I also got 6 to give out now.

Thanks.
Another one that threw us a bit back with the guy in In Our Time very forcefully talking about kephelapods, where everyone else in English would use a soft C. But I don't think Greek has that letter.

@nataliehaynes.bsky.social
Pronunciation question. I am currently listening to Stone Blind, and enjoying it. Athene is so snarky.
I headed someone on R4 a bit back saying Per-say-us rather than the familiar Percy-us you use. Is that a legit Greek pronunciation?

The idea that you should only be able to use a doctor's website while they're in the office is truly absurd.
