Title: The Fat Man Has Awaken
Post by: Martinus on March 22, 2011, 03:32:31 PM
QuoteTUESDAY, JULY 12, 2011

Yes, I know. You've all seen publication dates before: dates in 2007, 2008, 2009. None of those were ever hard dates, however. Most of them... well, call it wishful thinking, boundless optimism, cockeyed dreams, honest mistakes, whatever you like.
This date is different. This date is real.
Barring tsunamis, general strikes, world wars, or asteroid strikes, you will have the novel in your hands on July 12. I hope you like it.
(For what it's worth, the book's a monster. Think A STORM OF SWORDS.)
The dragons are coming. Prepare to dance.
And hey... thanks for waiting.

Old news. And it's still possible something will go wrong.

It is supposed to be a doorstop indeed.   Longer even than Storm of Swords.

You know what?  I don't care about this guy and his stupid books.  I stopped caring about these kinds of things when I realized that reading is for losers. :cool:

From the thread title, I thought that maybe William Conrad had arisen from the dead.
