Sci-Fi Nytt

Bok nummer fem i George R.R. Martins hyllade fantasyserie "A Song of Fire and Ice", kallad "A Dance With Dragons" har äntligen fått ett utgivningsdatum. Den fjärde boken i serien, "A Feast For Crows" gavs ut 2005, och fortsättningen är hett efterlängtad. Att HBO:s TV-serie baserad på den första boken i serien har amerikansk premiär i april har bara ökat suget efter böckerna.

Så här skriver författaren själv på sin blogg:

No.  Sorry.  Not done yet.

I'm close, though.  Watch this space.  When the book is done, you will read it here.   

Meanwhile... there is news.  Big news.  The end is in sight, at long long last, and we're close enough so that my editors and publishers at Bantam Spectra have set an actual publication date.

A DANCE WITH DRAGONS will be in your favorite bookstore on  


TUESDAY, 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.
