The release date I'm seeing for Republic of Thieves is September 3, 2013 :(
Thayer changed it again?! Not good! Humph...
Jennifer wrote: "May 10th- The Twelve by Justin Cronin (sequel to The Passage)"I am also pretty excited about this one. I enjoyed The Passage.
They keep moving up the US publishing date for Orb, Sceptre, Throne even though I know it's available elsewhere. That makes me crazy!
An interview with Lois McMaster Bujold announcing a tentative release date for her next book - November, 2012. Working title is Captain Vorpatril's Alliance and it features Ivan - something we've all been looking forward to, I think.http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/...

If you dig around you can find some audio recordings and transcriptions of her reading sample chapters at conventions. (I don't have the links to hand but I can try and find them later if no one else does.)I knew about the tentative release date, but the thing that struck me from that interview were the comments about readers bitching about her doing things wrong. That surprised me. Not that people had had that reaction (tastes vary) but that she seemed so publicly cranky about it.
Jennifer wrote: "May 10th- The Twelve by Justin Cronin (sequel to The Passage)"On the Amazon they have a different date, maybe the publisher changed the date. Now its stated to be published on August 28th.
Sandra aka Sleo wrote: "An interview with Lois McMaster Bujold announcing a tentative release date for her next book - November, 2012.

He has always worked well with our favorite Vor but I really dont see a book.
Of course I am not a writer so what do I know
The latest of Charles Stross' Laundry Cthuloid espionage books, The Apocalypse Codex, due out 3rd July.
Also, I just found out another book in the Ender's Series is also coming out this year. It is Earth Unaware, which is about the first war againist the Buggers, coming out July 17th, 2012.
I was pretty excited about the Bugger book, then I noticed its co written with Aaron Johnston. From the looks of it he is an artist or writer of comics or Graphic Novels.I am not sure what to think now.
So is this a book written by the Johnston fellow riding on Cards coattails?

I think he is a screenwriter, so it might no be that good since the other book that they wrote together, Invasive Procedures did not do that well. I feel like it too much like a movie or too mainstream. It really felt more like a Michael Crichton novel than something Card would write.
I noticed the last 3 Clancy books are co-written. Which usually indicates that Clancy is just lending his name.I am thinking that maybe card is doing the same thing
Also, the last couple of "prequel" books I have read are not as good as expected

Yes, I agree with you on that. Everything he has written since Shadow of the Giant has been terrible because it has been more mainstream, which before I would have never though of him as been mainstream.
Jan. 31st is the release date for
? Looks like a promising debut.
The Nightmare Garden is coming out on February 14 - I enjoyed the prequel, so I'm looking forward to reading this.
May 1st The Killing MoonI like Jemisin's books, though the last one The Kingdom of Godswas a bit of a disappointment for me, I'm still looking forward to reading her books
I cannot tell you how excited I am for Railsea, or as I think of it in my head, RAILSEA! I am counting down the days...
Jenny wrote: "I cannot tell you how excited I am for Railsea, or as I think of it in my head, RAILSEA! I am counting down the days..."Yes! I concur. I am also very excited for The Wind Through the Keyhole.

@Helen...I'll make a note to self...don't plan for any book releases in May of next year ;-)
Lol. When I read his Name of the Wind it was without the knowledge that it formed a series. I do like to read them together where I can.
