Tor to expand to an Eternal Champion Series?

[cmcknight]

Hi Mike,

Just wondered if Tor was going to pick up all of the Eternal Champion series. It would be nice to be able to grab all of them again (many of my originals got lost in transit between the various moves I've had to make over the decades). It would be nice if the multi-volume omnibus format from White Wolf was available in eBook or paper format. In addition to making it easy to carry a library, having them in eBook format makes them harder to go out of print. I'm not sure how the tax laws in the US have changed to handle eBooks, but I know one of the reasons behind limited runs was that publishers were taxed based on their physical inventories.

Just got back into the Hawkmoon series from Tor and I'm really enjoying the stories. It's been long enough that in some cases it's almost like discovering the stories for the first time.

Hope everything has gotten better for you healthwise. I've lost enough of my favorite authors, and I don't relish the thought of you passing on to the great beyond. Losing Zelazny and P.J. Farmer was really painful for me, having been a long time fan of their work.

Thanks for all of the great stories, they've been equally inspiring and thought provoking (especially that Cornelius fellow!).

Regards,

Chuck

TOR have no immediate plans for Corum and other EC books. I think they'd like me to deliver THE WHISPERING SWARM before they do any more reprints!
A good number of omnibuses are available via John Davey or Amazon UK. I don't know how expensive these would be if buying from the US.
Thanks!

Hi Mike,

Drat those pesky publishers! ;-)

I'm gradually rebuilding my collection, but it's being pretty hit or miss.

Thanks for taking time for the update and best wishes,

Chuck

Don't know how significant it is - beyond merely stating the obvious - but Eric Raab, an editor at Tor Books, has previously blogged "But rejoice. It doesn’t end here. Besides a backlist worth combing completely, Moorcock is currently working on new trilogy that Tor will launch next year."

I think they'd like me to deliver THE WHISPERING SWARM before they do any more reprints!

And presumably, this is the first volume in the aforementioned trilogy, yes?

Jeez, Mike, I thought you were supposed to be retired!

And presumably the series is The Sanctuary of the White Friars, as per this recently posted interview (see last question and answer). Unless I'm confused.

It's the title of the first book in the sequence.
