In this day and age, when every genre movie has a tie-in novel, I can't imagine this one would be different.SO: Who will take up the responsibility of writing a new novel in the Tolkien universe? My vote is for Guy Gavriel Kay, since he is an excellent novelist who got his start working with Christopher Tolkien in gathering SILMARILLION for publication. He has great knowledge of the setting, even after all these years, I'm sure.Give us your realistic guess, as well as your out-there suggestions!</blockquote>
