Yup, a book every May for the last 4 years. Werthead Send a noteboard - 07/05/2012 09:21:22 PM
Apparently it's due to him deciding to write shorter books (300-450 pages rather than the 700-800 pages of his first few books) and to him arranging it so that he is a book ahead of schedule the whole time. He actaully delivered RAILSEA around the time EMBASSYTOWN was coming out. And IIRC he delivered KRAKEN and THE CITY AND THE CITY simultaneously with the original plan being to release KRAKEN first, but the publishers were so impressed with TC&TC that they released it first instead.

That sounds tasty. - 07/05/2012 08:42:13 PM 964 Views
Sounds like a cross between The Scar and Iron Council. Is that at all accurate? *NM* - 07/05/2012 09:51:17 PM 496 Views
On a fairly simplistic level, yes *NM* - 08/05/2012 09:43:53 AM 377 Views
So would you recommend it to someone that wasn't a big fan of his non-Bas Lag novels? - 09/05/2012 10:04:15 AM 944 Views
I'd say so. - 09/05/2012 10:42:13 AM 907 Views
Sounds good. I'll check it out. - 09/05/2012 10:15:10 PM 950 Views
