Werthead Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 So, who is wearing the crown now?Rothfuss?Hmm. Originally we were supposed to get Book 2 in 2008 and Book 3 in 2009, so arguably it's already 4 years late ;)Melanie Rawn for The Captal's Tower. She's never lost it.Nope. Not counting Author Existence Failure situations, David Gerrold's A Method for Madness (Book 5 of the War Against the Chtorr) is 19 years overdue this year. Scott himself mentions Harlan Ellison's The Last Dangerous Visions, which this year will be 40 years overdue. Ellison's probably got the record, but that was for an anthology, which isn't quite the same thing. Gerrold's probably got it for the next volume of an ongoing series (Book 4 of a 7-book series, funnily enough).As I was writing this I suddenly remembered Patrick Tilley's Amtrak Wars series. We've been waiting 23 years for Book 7 of that series, but that's not quite the same thing, as he both gave closure to the series (more or less) and Book 7 was supposed to kick off a generation later and was effectively going to be Book 1 of a sequel series. Gerrold, AFAIK (haven't read the series), actually left a lot of plots and characters in the air with his series.Any word on Lapse of time between E-Book and "real" book?In the UK none, as far as I am aware. Gollancz push their ebook department very hard, and there are now hundreds of books available through them as ebooks which don't have print editions (they recently put up the complete Robert Silverberg back collection, for example).

Darth Richard Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I dunno, do any of those authors refuse to write the book thats overdue and instead publish bad witch porn which then doesn;t sell so they WRITE SOMETHING ELSE *flips desk*Ahem, Sorry. *rights desk* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Richard Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Also +10000000000 to Mr Lynch. Overcoming depression is something I've dealt with too, and it sucks filthy goat dicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthmail Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I just don't understand the hoopla. Lies was decent, but I could barely crack the spine of the second book. I tried to re-read Lies - its actually sitting looking at me on my desk - but instead i read through 2 Gemmell books, A Clash of Kings, Gates of Fire by Pressfield, the Long Price Quartet and some of Red Country instead.The second book was fairly abysmal. But it has a pretty cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merentha Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 You're weird. I loved Lies and thought Red Sea was not as good, but still a hell of a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhom Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 His known and currently-planned appearances for 2013 (updated March 5, 2013) -http://www.scottlynch.us/news.htmlClearly that schedule does not include any sort of promotional book tour in the 4th Q. Presumably if he is going to do one, those dates will start booking up very soon I would guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
