Sci-2 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Is there still a set of books after TUC? I get the feeling Bakker is going to try to write a non-fic book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grack21 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Supposed to be two more. That's assuming he hasn't gone crazy and is living naked on top of a mall in Canada somewhere, throwing eggs at random shoppers and screaming "EVER ARE MEN DECEIVED BY RETAIL"...or something.

Kalbear Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Like I said, that was the plan - but his non earwa stuff didn't sell, he had to take a day job and the rest of his books aren't as popular as he'd like them to be. My gut feeling is that TUC is it, at least for a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grack21 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Well I hope his publishers are smart enough to not release it in Jan 2013. There's a slighty large release coming out then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calibandar Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Well I hope his publishers are smart enough to not release it in Jan 2013. There's a slighty large release coming out then.Not that I think it would matter much to the sales of Bakker's new book, but that decision has been taken out the publisher's hands already by Scott. There used to be roughly a year between handing over the first manuscript and the release date, and the first part of that hasn't been done yet.

Sci-2 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Ah well. At this point if we get TUC next year I'll be happy.I think he'd have benefited from a 2012 release, and Grack is right in that interest diminishes as other authors put out new works.2013 I suspect will be a competitive year.

Kalbear Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I don't think that book competition really matters; it's very rare that a series gets picked up mid-stream or gets a lot more new readers without something external helping it (TV shows, recommendations, book club, whatever). People who liked the prior series will pick it up, those who didn't won't. It might make for a slightly less splashy release, but he's a midlist author with a small cult following. When he releases won't matter a bit. Put it another way: do you really think the fans of this series are going to think 'hmm...I could get this or the last book in the WoT series...guess I'll just not get it'.

I suppose at this point what matters is how good TUC is. I've sort of resigned myself to it being a disappointment but that's just one reader's opinion.

Sci-2 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I have a bad feeling Esmi ends up having to prostitute herself to Fayanal, which leads to more prostituion reflection ( !) and a possibly conversion to Yatwer ( )!Mim will somehow become a useful bargaining chip based on her womb ( !) and for all her Metagnostic magical power Serwa will somehow be trapped with traitor Non-men who will render her helpless ( !).eta 2: removed the more bitchy part of this post.

Calibandar Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 None of that would bother me. I just want to see how the plot unfolds and many mysteries revealed. And see what happens to Kellhus and his clan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
