Sorry to get your hopes up. I don't know any more than you do, but in light of Wolfe's almost Oulipean symmetrical language play in the titles of "The Island of Doctor Death", "The Death of Doctor Island", "The Doctor of Death Island", and "The Death of the Island Doctor", can we expect the following sequence to be completed sometime next millennium?
THE BOOK OF THE NEW SUN
THE BOOK OF THE LONG SUN
THE BOOK OF THE SHORT SUN
and finally
THE BOOK OF THE OLD SUN?
Cheers...
