Jerol Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) The old thread is closed so I'll start this one. Per Scott's Twitter account: IMPORTANT NOTE. Please read. *Ahem.* Yes, I have completed a draft of THORN which will now go to my editors for consideration and planning. This is not a formal announcement of a release date. There will not be such an announcement for a while yet. Please stay tuned!

Caligula_K3 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 This is pretty damn exciting news. I also still have high hopes for this series. And I'm just glad he's gotten it off his back, one way or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughn Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Ball's in your court George and Pat. Glad for him and hope to one day run into him when in western MA so I can tell him how much I enjoy his ripping yarns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'13, George's was July '11 and Pat's was Mar. '11. So while they're playing the same sport, they're definitely not in the same league.

Starkess Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 That's cool. Not sure if I'll be reading it, though. It's been so long and I don't feel like re-reading...maybe someday if the series is finished! This isn't a dig on Scott, just a fact of life that long waits for books makes me lose enthusiasm for series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hairy bear Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I'll definitely will be reading as soon as it comes out. Probably I'll reread the Republic of Thieves just before release, but I don't think it's necessary. I seem to recall that The Gentleman Bastard's books are more self-contained than most, and this one won't include flashbacks. It will start with Locke and Jean just moving to a new setting. With Abercrombie's A Little Hatred coming out in September, Lynch's Thorn of Emberlain around Christmas, and (one can hope) Martin's Winds of Winter not much later, it seems that the coming months will be busy ones!

C.T. Phipps Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I hope for more Sabetha. I just hope Locke and Sabetha never get together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Patrek Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Great news! Hopefully it will be a return to form for Lynch, because the third volume wasn't that good. And to think that Scott's book deal with Gollancz stated that a novel was supposed to be released every 9 months or so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lies of Locke Lamora was easily his best so far, because I loved the capers and seeing the whole gang together. Obviously that couldn't happen in subsequent novels. Still looking forward to reading Thorn though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
