The books coming out in 2014

But according to Wikipedia: 'The Winds of Winter is tentatively planned for release in 2014.'

This was based on something GRRM said not long after ADWD was published, but before the lengthy delays due to his other commitments. 2014 is not totally impossible, but I think it is highly unrealistic at the moment.

mid 2015 at the latest.

I don't think there's any such thing as 'at the latest'. 2016 or even 2017 is not out of the question, depending on the cirumstances GRRM encounters whilst writing the book. I think 2015 is perfectly doable based on his recent optimistic comments, but another Meereenese Knot could derail things unexpectedly.

that's odd about the Kearney. I can't really see Solaris publishing the books individually when they didn't for The Monarchies of God. Another Amazon hiccup?

Possibly, or Solaris might have decided that A Different Kingdom is good enough to stand alone. And it really is, it might be his best single novel (although it's very different from Monarchies and his other things, more like Mythago Wood than anything else).

Sword of the North isn't finished yet. It definitely isn't out anywhere in March.

Sounds like you've got some work to do to hit an arbitrary deadline placed upon you by some nebulous source on the internet... Better get back to writing!!! :lol:

GRRM's agents said 2016 in their last correspondence with the Polish publisher.

Really?

Allegedly, at the San Diego Comic-Con Bantam reps were saying unofficially (probably not the best place to say that to passing fans) that they are looking at a window extending from the end of 2014 through to the summer of 2015. But then Bantam were prepping cover art for ADWD and making release plans in 2007-08, so that doesn't really mean much.

Martin said last year about TWoW:

Not happening.

That was last year. This year he said it was a quarter-done. Even with reports of writing going well, publication in 2014 is just about impossible at this point, unless he reports that spectacular progress (of a kind not seen since maybe ASoS) has been made.

Not to worry - the TV show has 3 years to catch up so by 2017 we'll be getting Winds of Winter in one form or the other. Not the best way to get it but the TV show is faced with the prospect of stringing the show out or continuing the story as they see fit. That's going to be the biggest motivator for GRRM. The TV show has to do its own alternate ending at this stage - which I'm fine with as I can easily treat the two entities as separate anyhow,

It would be nice to see Unholy Consult as well but with the amount of good books coming out at the end of 2013, I'm going to be kept entertained through most of 2014 already.

GRRM's agents said 2016 in their last correspondence with the Polish publisher.

It makes me nostalgic of the days when I thought a book was coming out because of a projected date from a publisher or some con-comment turned truth via the medium of wikipedia. Although I secretly hope we will have the book by then...

The TV show will not do an alternate ending, they know the ending to the books from GRRM and they will do that whether the last book is out or not.

Probably not, but GRRM could very well do an alternate ending, or change his mind for the book ending after the TV ending is transmitted. He's already done that with geography - changing the map of eastern Essos completely after HBO had already used it - so why not with the story? Not to mention that the books have a lot more characters and storylines to resolve than the TV show does, so the endings will be different to a degree anyway.

Prince of Fools (The Red Queen’s War #1) by Mark Lawrence

Expected publication: June 2014 by Ace

This is the first book of a planned trilogy titled The Red Queen’s War.

These books are set in the Broken Empire and cover the same two decades that we dipped into during Jorg’s tale [see Broken Empire trilogy]. The trilogy is stand-alone, i.e, it's not required that you read the Broken Empire trilogy first.

The story follows the fortunes of Jalan Kendeth, an arrogant and cowardly womanizer, a bully and a cheat. Our ‘hero’ has lived his life in luxury and plans to continue doing so. Things start to go wrong when poor judgement entangles him in the adventures of an axe-wielding barbarian from the frozen north...

Prince of Fools shows us the world of the Broken Empire with a thicker vein of humor than Jorg’s tale, but it’s the same bloodstained place and from time to time we catch a glimpse of Jorg and his friends in the background.

I’m halfway through the second of the three books now and having fun with it! I hope you will too.

Yeah but no news of release date either by publisher/author or amazon,so better wait till we at least get a tentative date.

Also,what happened to the 3rd book in Col Buchanan's Heart of the World series ? Book 2 came out way back in 2011.
