A Promised Land is the first of two planned volumes. With so many people having got the copies for free already shows the vast piracy racket on the internet. This is indeed a loss for the publication. People should not be resorting to reading or watching pirated movies but instead buy/pay for it. If your friends or family members are passing along the PDF copies online, bring it to their notice that it is illegal.
