The first three John Gardner U.S. reprints from Pegasus, License Renewed, For Special Services, and Icebreaker, have slipped out ahead of their official Oct 12 release date and are shipping NOW from Amazon.com. Below is the final cover art, which is a vast improvement over the originally planned art, IMO.

These first three books contain new introductions by Raymond Benson and Otto Penzler, and mark the first time the Gardner books have been published as trade paperbacks in the U.S. Role of Honor and Nobody Lives Forever are scheduled for release next year.
