RetFalls will get a German translation?! :D Then I can pester all my German non-English-speaking-friends about it! Harr! I have been wondering when that would get translated, actually. And it is excellent news that they finally got round to it (or will get round to it.) I'll buy it then and see whether the translation is any good and will let you know right away. ;) Alaizabel Cray was a sad affair. Though what was really weird was that no one really noticed so I guess world-wide intelligence-decline is working in your favour. Also it got me into reading the English originals so there did come something good from this. Also Poison got a good translation. It felt right and atmospheric. (And apparently they are re-releasing it under a different title "Das Mädchen aus den schwarzen Sümpfen" The Girl from the Black Marshes. The translation seems to be the same, though. *scratches head*) Omg, yay. RetFalls! \o/ Oh, oh, oh!!

Will be good to see everyone again/for the first time (delete as necessary). @ Raihor: I didn't read the new Hitchhiker's. I don't necessarily think it's a cynical cash-in, but I still think it's pointless, since it's not Douglas Adams writing it. No matter who the other writer is, it's always going to be a completely different book. @ Kath: Translations scare me since you told me how terrible the German version of Alaizabel was. Thankfully The Ketty Jay books have gone to new publishers in both Germany and France, who I'm told are very good at that translation lark. Sweet. @ Bobby: Havoc comes out in May in the States, I believe. And it's not in my book section because it hasn't been published yet. Cool!

Time sure flies. Close to Heathrow? That's... handy. *ponders* We'll see. ;) @ Pombar: BSky was even translated into German, though finding any copies now is nigh impossible. Or rather, it is impossible! They are out of print which is kinda sad as I'm really curious how the translation was... Gawd… is it already (almost) one year later?! Time sure flies.

Nor are there any plans for continuation, as I last heard it. Though I hadn't known Broken Sky had received European translations. Neat!

I'm an italian guy who bought Broken Sky, Cielo di Fuoco in italian, sever years ago (1999? 2000 maybe...) and enjoyed sooooo much. I've finally found it again in my room and read it again, and I'd like to know if a sequel has been written or is going to be. Thank you a lot, M Hi everyone!

If anyone tried to continue any series of mine after my death, they’d be in for a damn good haunting." So you don't like Eoin Colfer's new Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy novel either? I don't like his writing, so I just see it as an attempt to get rich off of somebody else's talent. So Adams always intended to write another, so what? I'd only want to read it if HE wrote it, not some other person who I don't much care for... But I digress, I meant to talk about the conventions. I think I'll go! I like conventions :D Trouble is I'd have to hitch a ride with my parents to get to SFX weekender... But they'd probably want to have a look around themselves anyway. And the other one, well- Alistair Reynolds!? Ok I'm sold. Not as big a deal as when I met you in Forbidden Planet, but still... “Also, I’m not sure I like this.
