I greatly enjoy the Grand Illusion series; more so than the others in your extensive works. Not that I haven’t bought, read and enjoyed almost all the others. But, when can I expect the next in the GI series? I read that the next 4 in the Recluse series have been finished. But the publishing schedule that I saw has them in the next 2 or 3 years. It used to be that I worried would favorite authors like Heinlein and Pournelle finish story arcs before they left us. I’m getting to the point where I have to worry about will I last long enough to see them advanced. Thanks from the owner of just about everything in your inventory since The Hammer of Darkness
P.S. A new Ghost novel would be nice but I see difficulties in continuing it!
In response to the last point first, I actually suggested another ghost novel to my publisher, but the sales of the last ghost book — Ghost of the White Nights — were so poor that Tor felt it wouldn’t work.
As for another book in the Grand Illusion series, that’s a very good possibility, but I’m not to the point where I feel comfortable in saying more than that at the moment.
I have been a voracious reader of about 95% of your catalog. I enjoyed the Ghost series for the ghosts as conceived, the steampunkish society and the non-united States.
