You can now order The Chaos Scenario paperback from Amazon.com. The book’s product page went live a few minutes ago and almost immediately its ranking shot above 57,000 in books.
We want to thank everyone whose initial orders produced that encouraging news. We also want to thank those people who have added the book to their Amazon.com wish list (8 so far).
If you’re an Amazon fan/customer and are willing help, there are three easy things Bob and I would love for you to do.
1. Write a review and post it at the product page for the paperback and the Kindle edition. Even if you’ve only read the sample chapters, your opinion will help inform other readers.
2. Add it to your Amazon.com wish list.
3. Add a quick review to your social media, blog, twitter profile, etc. and link to the book’s Amazon.com page.
In the digital age, books rely on word-of-mouth more than ever. Thanks for using your social media channels to spread the word about The Chaos Scenario. GS

Loved hearing Bob on KUOW in Seattle today, so I went to your website to preorder his book. Apparently the digital revolution hasn’t yet caught on chez vous. Despite repeated attempts, it wouldn’t accept my order!!! Help…

Just a quick note to report on what happened. The software system used by our fulfillment house can assign a status to a product. Those include NYP (not yet published) and Published. When a product is NYP, the system accepts back orders that it fulfills when the product goes on sale. When the status switches to Published, the system stops accepting back orders and, instead, shows the product as “not available” if the warehouse inventory = zero.
The Chaos Scenario officially published on Monday Aug 3, but the shipment of books didn’t arrive at the warehouse from the printer until Thursday August 6. Because inventory = zero on a “published” product, the system said the book was unavailable.
Our fulfillment house quickly corrected the software code so the system would continue to accept orders for a “Published” product, even if inventory = zero.
The book is now in stock and orders are being shipped within 24 hours of being received. Bob and I are pretty determined not to run out of stock, so we hope this problem won’t recur. GS
