Last night, confirmation from GW that he is at work on
SOLDIER OF SIDON, set mainly in Egypt when it was a
province of the Persian Empire. He comments that his
research shows the ancient Egyptians in a warm,
sympathetic light. A fourth volume may well follow.

Concerning the publication date of SOLDIER OF SIDON:
don't expect it before 2005. THE KNIGHT and THE WIZARD
come first...

hi, is this, in fact, a long awaited story about Latro? the title
seems to suggest this but if I let myself hope and it turns out
it isn't the disappointment would be too much.

Mimosa, hi. SOLDIER OF SIDON is the third Latro novel,
following directly on from SOLDIER OF THE MIST and
SOLDIER OF ARETE.
