I'd argue very specifically it's the Lord of the Rings. But to each their own. Then again, I wrote an essay on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibandar Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I see the Gollancz catalogue up till July next year ( whuch Jussi was kind enough to post here) does not include Joe's next book, which confirms it won't be out before September. The US listing must be bogus I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazydog7 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Well we will keep an open mind about the release date but as a man once said. An open mind is like to an open wound. Vulnerable to poison. Liable to fester. Apt to give its owner only pain.” Seriously though I can't believe it has been 6 years since Red Country came out. Where did the time go?

Darth Richard II Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Well I heard he wrote some silly ya series in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Not to forget releasing Sharp Ends. And actually writing beyond book 1 of this trilogy (I’m a bit unclear, is the whole trilogy in draft form?) anyway, he certainly hasn’t slacked in those 6 years. If anything that’s a remarkably short time given all he has got done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people around the world will be getting a little less done for a while. i wonder if he's ever considered the first law being made into an open world adventure game? He's clearly a fan and it worked wonders for the Witcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hairy bear Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I'd certainly volunteer. I promise I'd reply him back immediately with tons of insightful annotations much more useful than the ones of his editors. 11 minutes ago, Relic said: Why? At least where I'm concerned, I love his status reports because they are interesting, fun to read, and make easier to bear the long periods of wait between books. Most times transparency is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hairy bear Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 @Relic I'd recommend to any other author to publish periodical status reports, to be sure. I think in the long term it'd benefit them. And in any case, I'd be thankful for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argonath Diver Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I say "You have to be realistic." fairly often in normal conversation. I think other that and the now-ubiquitous "You know nothing, <person's name>." it is my most-used quip from any fiction. So I think that's a compliment to Joe.
