John Harrison'Fall'The Magician King (Magicians #2) by Lev GrossmanSeptemberBitterblue (Graceling #3) by Kristin CashoreOctoberThe Islanders by Christopher PriestRumoured/UndatedTor Books are publishing the first Wild Cards reprint in November 2010, so I'm assuming the reprint of at least Aces High, if not Jokers Wild as well, will follow in 2011.Several more Chung Kuo books are due in 2011 as well, if the first books comes out on schedule in Spring 2011. There are 20 books in this series and will be published between 2011 and 2015 in an ambitious schedule by Corvus Atlantic.Adam Roberts apparently has a YA novel as his next book in 2011, which is interesting news.Book 2 of the Shadow Saga by Jon Sprunk and Book 2 of The Heart of the World by Col Buchanan will be 2011 releases, I imagine.Terry Pratchett's next adult Discworld novel will be released in 2011 and will be a new Vimes/City Watch novel, entitled Snuff. It was expected to be the concluding volume in the Lipwig trilogy, Raising Taxes, but that appears to have been moved back.Brandon Sanderson reports that A Memory of Light, the final Wheel of Time novel, is not now expected to hit the shelves until March 2012.Kim Stanley Robinson has returned to writing a more overt SF project, a space-set project exploring the wider colonisation of the Solar system. It is not clear if this is expected in late 2011 or maybe in 2012.Neal Stephenson's REAMDE (not a typo) may be a 2011 release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry. Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Best American Fantasy 4 - guest edited by Minister Faust, series now edited by myself. Yeah, this naturally is going to be my most highly-anticipated book release. Should be a February/March release. About to mail off the first third of volumes to Minister as a matter of fact. How's this for a shameless plug? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padraig Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Factually speaking, he announced he finished aFfC at the end of May 2005 for publication in Oct/Nov 2005. A repeat of such a turnaround is very doable. Rather academic point though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 If he finished it today they would be hard pressed to get it out before January I'd imagine. :thumbsdown:ASoS was finished in the last week of April and was in the stores in the last week of July (in the UK, Americans had to wait another three months but hey, we have the Book Depository these days to deal with that). AFFC was only slightly longer (finished in May, out in October). The UK and, this time, the US publishers have committed to replicating the three-month turn-around again. ADWD can be finished as late as August and should still make it out this year (like Towers of Midnight coming out in November if Sanderson can get it in by the middle of August).Try not to drag the topic too OT. This thread is for books that are coming out in 2011 and at the moment ADWD is still a potential 2010 release, and thus discussion of its release date is off-topic until it's clear that it will have to fall back to 2011, which as I said will not be until mid-to-late August or so.

Sir Thursday Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 As happens every year, I look at next year's list and think: "That's going to be awesome." But somehow it never quite happens that way :(.*crosses fingers that this is the year they all get their acts together and get their books out.ST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhadamanth Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I have to say that the list looks almost too good to be true. I can't wait for 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renasko Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Shit, forgot about A Memory of Light. I think everyone will be looking forward to seeing how that one finishes. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jussi Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Andrzej Sapkowski's Times of Contempt will be published in May, Kristin Cashore's Bitterblue in September 2011.I believe Matthew Stover's fourth Caine novel His Father's Fist is coming out next year. Not sure about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jussi Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Dan Abnett's Triumff - The Double Falsehood will probably be released in spring 2011 by Angry Robot Books.Celia Friedman's Legacy of Kings, book three of the Magister Trilogy, is scheduled for publication in April 2011.http://www.littlebrown.co.uk/Title/9781841495354 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Scot A Ellison Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I forgot. Peadar Ô Guilin (Peadar here on the board) believes the sequel to his book The Inferior should be released February 2011. He told me so on his livejournal this morning. I'm not sure of the title but I'm going to be buying the book.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 Updated.@ Tom the Merciful, Ken Scholes' Requiem is due in mid-to-late 2011, I believe. Peter Brett has only just started writing The Daylight War, which given the delays on The Desert Spear makes it most likely an early 2012 release.A Memory of Light is, to my mind, more likely than Towers of Midnight to slip to the following year (and ToM is cutting it close). However, Sanderson is a writing machine, he doesn't have any other projects lined up (the sequel to The Way of Kings is on the backburner until WoT is completely finished) and Tor will push hard for it to be a late 2011 release, so the date stands for now.
