kuenjato Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Ugh. Not good. I guess I can schedule my re-read for next year, then. What a disheartening experience for an author. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibandar Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Christ. The date has been confirmed multiple times so you'd think this firm. But him still not having an editor months after we last heard the book was done and scheduled but he didn't have an editor yes, that sounds like a rare kind of mess. I'm still inclined to think that since both Scott and the publisher separately confirmed the July date, this will still be right. Other points of possible concern? * The book is still not listed by Orbit, which is weird, because we'd been told that Orbit has aligned with Overlook and agreed on the 4th book. They do not have TGO up on their site or on Amazon UK * Overlook also hasn't listed the book on their own site, only Amazon ( this may not mean much as they seem to be a mess). And yes, where is Sci anyway, he's been notably absent. Has he served as sustenance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calibandar Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Scott commented to my question about whether the July date is in danger: Quote I’ve been leaning on them for an explicit timetable for several weeks now, and still nada, so I’m concerned definitely. All there is to do is to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh, one, that was kind of a joke, in reference to these books I'm beginning to think a lot of people here haven't actually read. Two, he also said he got in trouble with his agent. Also I guess if by served its purpose...you mean he stlll has no editor and a bunch of people quit? Yay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

all swedes are racist Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 So alts and socks are more akin to skin spies? Tragically misunderstood beings that while lacking souls may very well have very real feelings and personal motivations, nevertheless doomed to be opened up and exposed before a roaring, frothing crowd in tortuous ecstasy?

jurble Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Anyone have any idea about the size of the sea in the new map? In the older, zoomed-out maps, it seemed so small to me, that I thought walking around it would be trivial. But now it seems gigantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somnambulist's map, here gives us the idea that Swaranul is about 250 miles from Dagliash, as-the-crow-flies, which is probably about as reasonable an estimate as there is, considering how much scholorship he put in to it. This would lend itself to the idea that the new map shows is about four-hundred and something miles across and three-hundred and something tall? Something like that...
