One more chapter of set up, then the climax, and then unknown quantities of denouement, some of which is still highly, um, theoretical.

Highly theoretical: yes. I had to go say to timprov this afternoon, "As much as it amused me when the Star Trek metaphor in Futurama was, 'it's like a balloon, and something bad happens!', that's not actually an ending for this chapter. Also it's not much like a balloon."

Sigh.

I am excited! I can't wait to read The Mirador come August. Love, love, love this series!

Okay, I have to ask this question because I'm going to go completely mad if I don't. Don't worry, it's a simple question :)

When does The Virtu come out in paperback? I've checked the Borders website only about a million times and it says "July 2007," and, well, it is July. I pre-ordered it, um, a long time ago, and though I keep checking the site, it still says "Title not yet published." Usually when it lists a month as the publish date, I'm able to find the book on the shelves on the first of that month :/

My complete and utter impatience by this point is due to the fact that I've been DYING to read this book ever since I picked up Melusine on a whim and read it, which was roughly a year ago. It may also have something to do with the fact that, in reading reviews for The Virtu, I unwittingly read one with a MAJOR SPOILER that the cruel, cruel person did NOT write a warning for and now it is KILLING ME.

Anyway, to stop my rambling, is there a more specific publish date for the book other than "July 2007?" Just so I know and don't start making up conspiracy theories.

Oh, and I just wanted to say good luck with the rest of Summerdown!
