I think someone probably asks Wolfe about this at every panel, but I
recall it was asked last year at WindyCon. Wolfe said he would not
mind doing another sequel but he's getting old, the clock is running,
and he doubts he'll get around to it.

Personally, I was surprised regarding "Sidon" that Wolfe allowed Latro
to return home. That's struck me as an important motivation for his
character that was taken off the table.
