I certainly hope we see another Latro book. I do not know of any comments from Wolfe that indicate that he has yet started work on another one, but one would seem to be a possibility in the future. In his acceptance speech at the World Fantasy Convention in Saratoga Springs, in 2007, when *Soldier of Sidon* won Best Novel, he said that *SoS* was written largely because of requests from readers for more about Latro, and, that these requests were already being made again post-*SoS*. He indicated that he would not ignore demand for one. At least that is what my ears heard... --- ### John Watkins *05 Nov 2008, 02:28 · in reply to Joe Bushong-Taylor* Gene Wolfe is 77. He does not have infinite additional books. I know he has two upcoming, stand-alone novels. That said, it will be a minor tragedy if he does not write a fourth Latro book. I prefer a fourth Latro book to an additional book set in any of Wolfe's other worlds, because Latro--unlike Severian, unlike Silk, unlike Abel--hasn't had a satisfactory farewell. > On 11/4/08, Joe Bushong-Taylor wrote: > I find myself rereading the Latro books for the sheer joy of the images and > characters in them.
