At the end of the Benediction Coding Meeting 4, someone had two science-fiction in her opened bag. As I am an avid reader, I did look at the cover, the title and ... the name of the writer : Philippe RIMAURO, who isn't exactly unknown on the Amstrad CPC scene. So Ann nonymous confirmed to me that these books were the start of a serie, with a third to be sold soon, and a fourth being W.I.P Ann did usher to me that the first was read very quickly so you could consider buying these two books (already done for me and I received them right today) on Amazon as they are printed on demande (the links are not sponsored) :

• la perle des confins
• la soeur égarée ou le râle du monde

For ordering, you must :

1) payment with Paypal of the good amount (number of order x price : 17 or 20) to fredisland at acpc dot me. You cant ask to reserve for later.

2) at the same time you pay on Papyal, you can leave a message, it's really important as you must leave your postal address, which protection you want and how many, or send these informations as a private message on Facebook or by email.

Frédéric will confirm your order (by PM or email) that your order will be processed (well if you leaved all the needed informations). As his original message was in August and as he has now the protections in stock, shipping should be quick but don't forget he is a one man show not Amazon, sometimes humans needs to eat, sleep, work too (Genesis8bit opinion, not a translation of Frédéric's words).
