The next book, A Pitiless Rain, will most likely include "Shaggy Dog Bridge" and "Bone Eaters", and will fall between Shadows Linger and The White Rose. If there is going to be another book following Soldiers Live, I don't think it will be A Pitiless Rain.usagigoyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06065935650330838275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008217764991774516.post-24622594661823708652018-10-06T05:36:06.787-04:002018-10-06T05:36:06.787-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.usagigoyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06065935650330838275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008217764991774516.post-77786291747807311482015-11-10T20:13:12.820-05:002015-11-10T20:13:12.820-05:00Those last three came out after I first wrote this...Those last three came out after I first wrote this - now I'll have to track them down.

The idea of continuing the series isactually exciting.<br /> He's really representative of the sort of author capable of the balance I prefer between good, bad and regular characters. Mocker's still one of my favorite characters.The Wasphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08636805818054637966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008217764991774516.post-10356311605185030252012-04-26T20:55:15.681-04:002012-04-26T20:55:15.681-04:00Owing to their recent sale, I just ordered/pre-ord...Owing to their recent sale, I just ordered/pre-ordered the last three books of the Dread Empire series..

By the time I got to volume 10 I was not particularly interested in the series to be honest. I felt the 4 volumes of the glittering plain simply took waaaaay to long to get going.. I'll give both of them a read anyway.Lagomorph Rexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06385231158384929598noreply@blogger.com
