It’s more than halfway there already and it launched, um, slightly more than two hours ago. :) If you don’t know Harry’s writing, he’s the author of the acclaimed but tragically not best-selling Twenty Palaces urban fantasy novels, as well as the forthcoming pulp novel KING KHAN from Spirit of the Century/Evil Hat.
