Philip Pullman has announced that a new
Dust trilogy about Lyra that he is calling an "equel" (as in not prequel, not sequel) will be released starting in October. Folowers of the MobileRead Book Club will remember that we read the first book in the original trilogy,
Golden Compass (UK:
Northern Lights) in
January, 2015. Having waited 17 years for more about Lyra, I figure this qualifies as news.
