*Bumped*
And. Actually very interested in the new novels that will hopefully be released within the next year. I heard that Mel Odom was writing one (Preying for Keeps and Headhunters were some of the best SR books post Nigel D. Findley) What about the others? Any word on authors, titles, or plot synopsis? |

Jason Hardy has one in the works, as does Phedra Weldon (WHo's done some BT fiction, I think). Plus one is an Anthology. At least this is info from GenCon 2008. I have no idea what the current status of any of these are (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)

I have no idea what the current status of any of these are (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif) All that is accurate. There were various bumps in the road in the past 12 months, but many of them are very close to being quite smooth. As far as my book goes, it's almost done. It's set in Lagos and involves six runners, three packages, and a very long bridge. It also features Cayman and X-Prime, who I have written about before. Phaedra's book is hacker-heaven. And I believe out own Jennifer Harding has something possibly in the works. I think it's okay at this point for me to add that there is an intriguing new author potentially added to the pool who might pop up with a book before mine comes out . . . but I can say no more.

You know who could write a good SR novel, Joel Shepherd. His Cassandra novels are damn good, and the networking depicted is fairly close to how I picture the wireless matrix.

It would be awesome if Mel Odom wrote a new novel.
I've never been a gamer, but still regularly re-read many of the original novels. Some where better than others, of course. The "new" novels that came out a couple years back were mostly disappointing to me, so I'm hoping there's fresh energy with this new set. One thing I always said was good about the original series were a couple of meta-narratives that kept recurring, such as the insect spirits and the return of the evil creatures from that other plane. Books that are nothing more that game scenarios that don't advance the universe much don't appeal to me as much, but then again I'll admit to not being a gamer. I like the more conspiracy theory/illuminati type of plots i guess. |

Jason H. Anthology? Like Knasser's idea a bit back? Is he involved or is it coincidence? |

The big question for the Souix is if they start it would the PCC, Salish support them? They are busy dealing with other messes (Tshman, UTE, LA). It might be a good time for the UCAS to start something. |

QUOTE (Prime Mover @ Sep 21 2009, 08:51 AM) PDF but still waiting for print. Seattle 2072 Running Wild SR4A LE In some form of production. Dawn of the Artifacts 2-4 (Midnight, Darkest Hour and New Dawn.) Vice Corp Book Almanac Toolkit Several Novels Ebooks (Core Books Re - Release [In full color?]) Books for the future. War GM's Handbook (jm_hardy: A sourcebook we're looking at for late 2010 might have some of the Neo A-type stuff in it, though to the exact same feel or anything.) Anything I missed? Edit: Added J Hardys post from chat for completeness. Well, Running Wild is out now (is the limited edition of 4A out or just regular still?) and Seattle 2072 is almost here. Any Catalyst people want to hint as to which of the "in production" things is next in line, or most finished, or something? Alternately, you other folks, which are you looking forward to the most? I'm stoked for the Almanac, since my players' chars have connections to some relatively out of the way places (Laos, the AMC, Wales, et al). |

Lessee--it looks like Dawn of the Artifacts 2 and Vice will be next in line, though I can't say just when they'll pop out. And as for novel names, mine currently bears the title of Hell on Water, and the novel line developer seems okay with that. Jason H. |

i suspect its the military hardware book that was hinted about around the time arsenal was released.
that is, tanks, t-birds, fighter jets, ships and subs, all the stuff that would give a rigger a "hard-on" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
