Nightshade have announced<http://www.nightshadebooks.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=219>the reprint of An Ill Fate Marshalling for December! Reap the East Wind is supposed to be out in October, so that suggests that the final Dread Empire volume might be out in February or so next year! as Mr. Burns might say, "Excellent!" It's too bad the publicity copy is so poor, it reads as follows: "Coming December 2011 King Bragi Ragnorson decides to join Chatelain Mist�s coup against the Dread Empire. Varhlokkur � the King�s wizard � tries to dissuade Ragnorson from this chosen path, but only the drum-beat of war is heard. The King�s Spymaster Michael Trebilcock joins with the wizard to stave off The Ill Fate Marshaling, to no effect. Many of the characters from past volumes take center stage, and the climatic events of this book shake the world of the Dread Empire to its very core, creating A Path to Coldness of Heart." Who is this "Ragnorson" and "Varhlokkur?" I assume they got the first one by glancing at the copy on the back of the Tor edition, which uses a similar misspelling. The latter, with the "t" missing from Varthlokkur, is just sloppy. So is using the word "Marshaling" when the book title is "Marshalling." I checked my dictionary, both are considered acceptable, even if spell-checkers want the former. Finally notice that "climatic" events are mentioned, but not "climactic" ones. I tried to send Nightshade an email about this, but their listed contact email is apparently invalid!
