If Tor would get their act together and release ICE's books contemporaneously with Bantam, I'm sure Tor.com would have a preview up by December or so. And if wishes were fishes...

Check the new paperback stonewielder UK for the prologue...I almost spent an hour in waterstones to read that...but....I would have looked a bit odd
I still might go back...there's lots of plot lines for it...including one where this guy is asking after someone called Traveller...so erm
Fingers crossed for a Traveller/Karsa plotline again
oh and
if the seguleh dont waste skinner in this I am going to get the trotts

The prologues up?
What the shuddering fuck, why havnt we got it? Im going to town tomorrow to check this SW edition claim. Waterstones can go fuck themselves in the arse with a cactus if they give me abuse for reading in the shop. They can try and pry it from my cold dead fingers is what they can do....

Read it. Very very interesting. Writing seems even better than Stonewielder which was a drastic improvement over ROTCG.

So, you're the historian who survived the Chain of Dogs.
Actually, I didn't.
It seems you stand alone.
It was ever thus.

Is the MMPB still the "bigger" format used for TTH and following?
Otherwise I'll wait for Tor.
