Just seen this today on "
upcoming works," not sure how long it has been there. A little progress, if it means that the version that the publisher has is now completely edited and final. Up to the publisher now to finish up layout and set a release date.

Thoughts?
My thoughts are that it could be real or fake. The size would suggest that they have some idea for an estimate (if not an early version). It is also in line as similarly long as the last two novels (
Skin Game and
Aeronaut's Windlass). But the publisher makes no sense. Orbit is Hachette owned, not Randy owned. Unless the publishing houses merged behind my back? The best to go on so far. If it is fake, the real date will likely be even later. Sooner? They would probably have a real page, even if not yet preorderable.
So a much longer wait yet than expected. Almost guaranteed to NOT release this year yet. Looks more like maybe summer of next year.
