Per FFG's "Upcoming" page, Knights of Fate is already shipping with a release date of 6/21/18 ( https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/upcoming/ ). And yet Ciphers and Masks is still "lost in limbo" somewhere. I guess perhaps the rumors are true that FFG switched to a US based printer for their RPG products going forward. This is a new record for a Star Wars book going from announcement to being shipped (and so soon after Unlimited Power dropped).

Sorry, I didn't see any mention of it shipping in that thread. It looks like it was started back in February to discuss the original announcement.

It's not actually a record. It's not even the fastest Force and Destiny book. With the announced release date, Knights of Fate will have been 129 between announcement and release. Endless Vigil was only 107 days. The fastest Star Wars book in that regard was Beyond the Rim at 92 days.
It's also not the fastest time between books, as we had one book release per week for two weeks in March of 2016, and even had one book per week for three weeks in a row in November of 2015. And that's not even the best! We had two books, Far Horizons and Onslaught at Arda I , release on the same day, 08/14/2018.
Yes, but that was back in the past. Those days are long gone never to return. I am speaking of recent history.

Ah
. Well, then, clarification is your friend!
Absol & I discussed it in her "Trends" thread over on the EotE boards. We concluded that it looks like less a matter of KoF "skipping" CaM, and more that it's just coming out on time, as scheduled, rather than being held back for CaM to be released first. ?
