But at least he should have the next book done in less than nine years.

Edit: Also, Strong Belwas.

Where did you hear that about the assistant writters? I used to almost daily read his blogs and stuff, but I don't have time to anymore so it's been awhile and I'm out of date on the news. I'm really surprised (and somewhat sadened) to hear that though, if true.

EDIT: A google search only turns up one hint of this, and it is noted that it was an April Fool's joke. I have a hard time believing this to be anything other than that honestly ... George will finish his books.
