<talonspiritcat>: Any ideas on when we might see new dead-tree-format novels?  Ie Bonfire of Worlds or its (hoped for)  sequels?
<Habeas2>: Talonspiritcat - Unfortunately, there is no definite timeline on when new print novels will begin. They remain on our to-do list, but there are considerable issues that affect novels that do not affect sourcebook production right now.

It will pry go to print as soon as I get around to buying the ebook, I'd bet good money on it.  ;D

I read it on my ereader as I pretty much never expect it to see print sadly.

speaking of Bonfire...has anyone heard how the follow-up (if any) is going to be done?  Is the story going to be continued on Battlecorps...in sourcebooks, etc.

The universe will continue once the CBT and DA Timelines reconnect and become one again. Or so the prophesy says, or maybe it was Herb?

I'm holding out for new novels myself.

New novels would be great...especially Shadows of Faith...I have seen the cover art for it, read the Battlecorps introduction chapters, and I want more!

In one of the Chats, Herb said there was only going to be Dark age novels, that the Jihad era novels idea was no longer
in the plan, and that all sourcebooks would be from the time of the novels when they make the jump.

I, too, would like a print version. Love me some dead trees :) lol. To those that have read the ebook version, is the book good? I'd love some spoilers PM'd to me. :)

The original thread from the BattleCorps Fiction board:

I suspect Duke Nukem Forever will be out before a print version....(and..yes, I know..DNF is out THIS YEAR!)

I remember that the standard used to be "X will likely come out before Axl Rose gets off his butt and finishes 'Chinese Democracy'" lol. And after all that time...well...let's hope better things are in store for CBT/DA novels. :)
