The city of Celwynvian hides a terrible sin. For countless centuries the elves of the Mierani Forest have barred outsiders from the fabled City of Emerald Rains, in a desperate attempt to contain an ancient shame. But as a new power rises in the depths, the elves’ secret threatens not only to escape, but to rain down devastation upon the entire world. In desperation, elven eyes fall to a band of outsiders for aid. Tread the forsaken ground of Celwynvian, once one of the greatest capitals of elven culture, now a graveyard haunted by the spirits of the past, foul dragons, demons, and worse. Discover the darkest secret of the Mierani Forest and the truth of the cataclysm known as Earthfall. And dare to shed the bonds of eternity and pay witness to an apocalypse that has borne out a thousand times and threatens to devastate Golarion once more!

Interesting battles, fun new enemies and allies, and a chance to investigate the mysterious Armageddon Echo. All and all a fun and entertaining adventure that does a wonderful job of advancing the plot.
The only drawback I've noticed is that there is a lot of information given for an area, but with little concrete details of what would be found within. While this may be a problem for some GM's, those who wish to expand these into full-blown side areas can do so with little effort.
In short, TOP NOTCH!
Second Darkness Chapter Three: The Armageddon Echo.
It doesn't seem possible, but the scenarios just keep getting better. Now we get to effectively time travel to see where the Drow learned to aim meteors as weapons. A superlative effort. Check out my full review The Armageddon Echo

With all the delays, is the delay of 14 in customs coupled with the pushback of 15 going to cause another 2 issue August next year? I know you guys got quite a bit of flack over it (even if August is the traditional heavy month for RPG fans - GenCon releases being what they are.)

No—the only significant delay here is that 14, which should have shipped in September, instead shipped in early October. 15 is still (and was always) scheduled for October.
I'm really excited about this one. I have been dieing to know what the stats are on that mega bad a$$ drow wizard on the cover. He may very well be the coolest drow art I have ever seen (with the exception of maybe Brom's WotSQ covers). The end of the month can't come soon enough.
Looking at the pdf, this product is full of awesome. The acticle on the drow had incredible art and some of the best "drow" ideas I have seen generated in a long time. I liked the adventure and found the Armageddon Echo itself to be a phenominal site based adventure component. I was a little disappointed in the build of Novelniss as I expected him to be some kind of drow demon master with the art on the cover, so I was a little "meh" about the direction you chose to take him.
The iconics are awesome and I am loving their party mix. Seltyiel is looking sweet and already has started into Eldritch Knight, which I think completely rocks. I am glad you guys decided to go ahead and use a PRC for him as it makes that multiclass build way more effective. On the whole I give this adventure 5 stars. The support articles would get 6 stars if that were possible. Keep up the great work.
Minor quibble, on p. 72 the character's 'race' is left out of her stat-block. (It mentions that she's an 'assimar' (heh, I always worried about mis-spelling that one...), but doesn't mention what *else* she's become.)
Spoiler:
Ghost? Banshee? Unique undead of some sort, based off of her origin as a 'spirit of creativity?'
I'm really glad that they've started posting when the PDFs will become available. I will definitely buy the print product as well, but it helps me to know (roughly) when things will be available for sale (so I can budget for them).
I still haven't received issue 15, though it's showing that it shipped on the 24th and should have taken 8 days at most. I'm not sure how to find my tracking number. How do I determine why I haven't gotten my book yet?

Hmm, it is definitely very late. A replacement will go out with Pathfinder #16.
None of the Second Darkness or Legacy of Fire adventures are (or will be) sanctioned for Pathfinder Society play. They share this status with Wrath of the Righteous and Hell's Vengeance.
Council of Thieves, Kingmaker, Strange Aeons, and Ironfang Invasion are not yet sanctioned for PFS, but probably will be eventually, along with most yet-unreleased Adventure Paths.
(Individual elements from these adventures may appear on the Additional Resources page, of course.)
