Who saw this coming...?
This will merit a new part of the forum soon, right?

Aswering Hiro's first question,
we first heard about this in March. Thanks for updating the story!
Now to wait for next fall for the first volume...and then pine for the others. Oh, and dream of
Elohimfest discussions of the book, of course.

"The Great God's War" ... Interesting title, considering the theology of The King's Justice. Donaldson may be continuing some of the themes of his last Chronicles though his later works.
... Well, I guess it depends on whether it's a war of a great god, or a great war of a god. There is a Donaldson twist here.

Hmmm, the editor can't be that much of a fan if she's not a member...

Hey Renny, good to see you around. Post more.
(I left a comment praising the Gap series, since other commenters were a bit lackadaisical about it.

While it's true that we knew Seventh Decimate had been expanded into a trilogy, it's nice to have a name for the trilogy, and to have a publisher pick it up and announce a publication date.
November '17 is still a long way off ... but then it's already been three years since TLD was published!

From SRD's website:
My new fantasy trilogy, THE GREAT GOD'S WAR, has been acquired for publication by Berkley in the US and Gollancz in the UK. The first book, SEVENTH DECIMATE, is scheduled for October 2017. My contracts give me 18 months per book; but I'm hoping to do better than that.
Just in case anyone is thinking otherwise: this trilogy has nothing whatsoever to do with anything I've written before. Except of course it shares my usual approach to storytelling, my usual themes, etc..

Perhaps we should move this to the main announcement forum. I feel this topic is lost here. If only an admin was around to do that???
Oh wait, I can do that.
When do we start the countdown clock and new forum?

When a publishing date is announced?
Also, maybe you better ask SRD if you can get a draft so you have a head start...

I actually do come by a few times a week.
Took me a while to find where you'd put this
