The only official word I\nhave on it is very old; it comes from the January 1984 LOCUS article\non Wolfe in which he discusses why he quit his job to become a\nfull-time writer:\n\n        '... I've got the fifth book of the New Sun in first draft,\n        but I haven't done anything on it for months.  I plan to\n        pull it out eventually and do the final draft.\n        Comparatively little of the book takes place in the Urth of\n        the Commonwealth.  A lot of it takes place in space...  The\n        temptation is... to get away from [writing about Urth],\n        because I know the place pretty well and it's time to go and\n        explore a new place.'\n\nIt's been considerably more than a year since this interview, so I\nsuspect he has had a chance to work on the book some more.  Does\nanyone else have any current information?"
