[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 2868359, member: 1656"] Mine's on its way from Amazon. Giddy, giddy! :) I'm [i]always[/i] waiting for the next Bujold and the next Brust. But the one I've pretty much given up hope on is Jerry Pournelle's [i]Janissaries 4[/i]. [i]Janissaries 3[/i] came out in 1987. It didn't complete the story. In about 1998, he put a note on his 'Work in Progress' page, saying he expected to have book 4 finished by October '99 - it was his current project. Then he said he had about 45,000 words done. Then in December of '99, it was 55,000 done. Then saying it was set aside while working on [i]The Burning City[/i]. Then he put up a new Work in Progress page (with a note saying "Notice the absence of dates"). He said he was up to 65,000 words. That he'd been working steadily on it. The last note says "Alas, as of Fall 2004 I haven't finished this. It is about next on my schedule, after Burning Tower." Burning Tower hit stores at the end of 2004. [i]Where's my Janissaries 4, damn it!?[/i] -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
