Does anyone else wonder why the release dates for the upcoming novels are so far away? I myself am hungry for the next book already and it won't be released until 2007!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SRD is a notoriously slow writer - he has 3 years to write each book as part of his contract.

Novels don't grow on trees.

BTW - Welcome to the Watch! I'm going way out on a limb here, but I suspect you might like the Star Wars thread located in the Library forum. Enjoy!

I guess I shouldn't complain, this gives me time to read all of them again. I also picked up a copy of Gilden Fire on ebay just recently and I can add that in as well. ...there is wild magic in every rock

Chew on this though...
Book 2 in 2007
Book 3 in 2010
and finally the grand conclusion in 2013
(give or take a year)
Imagine how old you'll be when you get to experience the final chapters of the Chronicles.

last chapters in 2013? christ I'll be 38! I wonder if in that time frame a film will finally be made, which would delay any further writing?
mind you, it's that damn good, it is worth the wait!

I agree, can you imagine how bad it would be if SRD unfortunately passed away before finishing his epic? We'd get some inferior writer trying to finish it off, maybe a relative or his editor or something!

Christopher Donaldson, perhaps?

A lot of people here are already older than 38.
In 2013 I will be 49.
And, with luck, already retired from my lifetime of government service.
