Propaganda

L. Neil Smith reports that Warner Books is trying to get out of publishing the third volume in the Forge of the Elders trilogy, that first two of which are Contact and Commune and Converse and Conflict. The third book is Concert and Cosmos. Considering that the publishers have never indicated these books to be a trilogy, or even mentioned the title of the series, or done anything to promote the books, it is only so remarkable that they are trying to pull such a shoddy trick. Neil's agent Russell Gale of the Scott Meredith Agency, is doing battle and Neil reports, “We think we see light at the end of the tunnel, even though it may be a train.” One way or another, fans of Neil Smith will be able to read the third book.
