Soldier of Sidon [possible spoiler]

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

This may qualify as a [SPOILER] for anyone who hasn't finished reading the
latest Latro, but I must admit that I was slightly disappointed that SoS
doesn't even hint at closure.  I know that this is more a function of
publishing practices than Wolfe's own desire to cruelly tweak his readers
(or is it?) but I'd appreciate knowing when we might expect to see the
"completion" of the series.  I wouldn't mind reading another installment or
two, but I hope he's not planning to make Latro a literary decathlete.

By the way, what outlets have covered the book so far? After a quick web
search, I found reviews at scifi.com and on a couple of blogs.  Any
mainstream mentions yet?
