Weeellllll get to work and do the third book I'll read it :)
thanks for making it clear that the book club is open to anyone!
I also would really enjoy seeing Neila and Salim get on each other's nerves again (and based on the popularity of Chris Jackson's books, a little romance isn't something the Pathfinder readers shy away from)! One of the reasons I am eager to talk about the Redemption Engine is how much more impressed I was with Salim after that book than this first one. I would really, genuinely like to see Salim and Neila butt heads now, when they've both grown into much healthier people.
So I just read this whole thing over lunch. I really liked it. I had a few issues with what the main character was (class et al.), but overall I liked the characters, setting, and story. For the download, does it have pathfinder RPG stuff in it or is it just a compilation of the story as a PDF?
I'll give you a few answers and hope that I am answering your question.
The download of Faithful Servants is simply an ePub of what is available for free in the Web Fiction.
The download of Death's Heretic includes a Pdf and ePub of the novel. There is no RPG gaming material included in the novel.
In general, there is not any PFRPG material included in ANY of the fiction. The notable exception to this is Pathfinder Comics, which has some gaming material in each issue.
that was my vote!
(Interesting... I wrote "Boar and Rabbit" expecting people to read it *after* The Redemption Engine. I'll be curious to see how reading it first affects people's impressions of both stories!)

Indeed - we'll start with Boar and Rabbit then. Also, I'll start the post on Saturday with a link to a new thread the same way as Death's Heretic. Here we go...
I know that you want to keep the voting organic for what we read next, but I think that we need to make another thread for deciding order - that way, if someone were going to star with the next book, they could order it when it is announced, and have it in before the first part of the discussion starts, so they won't be playing catch up the entire time.

Also a good point, just to throw something together real quick:
1 - The Crusader's Road
2 - Death's Heretic
3 - The Redemption Engine
4 - Winter Witch
5 - Prince of Wolves
6 - Skinwalkers
7 - Master of Devils
Etc...
Thoughts?
looks good to me!

I agree that offering lists of preferences and voting based on those will help everyone get their hands on the materials before readings begin. I'll put something together once The Redemption Engine gets underway and run it by all of you so that we'll all have ample time to make that happen, perhaps with a new thread, as suggested.
Thank YOU folks! Watching this has been a treat. :D
Reading Death's Heretic now... wow... can't put that book down.
I *knew* it was worth paying the printer to put glue on the covers! (Sorry, I'm in a dad-joke sort of mood today.)
Really glad you're liking the book! :D
D:
but also
:D

Reading Redemption Engine now. Awesome as well. Hope you'll write more Pathfinder books in the future. Salim or not, I really like your grasp of Golarion. It really helps set the tone for the locale the heroes visit. I find myself devouring these books as much to learn about how the streets feel like as to see how the plot will unfurl. Well done! I've PMed a question about Salim.
