Did any of you read Brandons Blog today? $:-\$ It sounds like he is planning to only make 4 Alcatraz books insted of 5. Ookla do you know anything about this or am I just confused agian?

I think the original contract was for 4 books in the series, but Brandon is planning on doing 5. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

A couple months ago Brandon was still saying there would be a fifth book even if Scholastic didn't want it, but Brandon may have changed his mind. We may not know until he writes the 4th one whether it's really the end.

Personally I think I'm going to have to read the 3rd before I feel if a fifth needs to be written. I mean we haven't really got anything happening yet. To many problems. The Rashid lenses and the Unknown Lense, how Alcatraz is to stop the Librarins, Shasta doing something (because she hasn't done much in the books), Bastille geting her knight back and allot more. I just think this seris need five.

I don't know. I think that Mr. Sanderson could wrap it all up in a fourth book.

Yeah, but we don't know what all happens and gets brought up in the 3rd book to know for sure if it will be able to complete in the 4th.

I agree, we really can't tell if we need the fifth book until we've read the 3rd. Maybe not even then.

Could Brandon just publish the fifth book at another editor/pubblisher if Scholastic doesn't want it? I mean it wouldn't be breaking the contract on the books because it just has four books on it.

$:-\$
Or is that illegal again?

Just took a look at this post: Alctraz cover And I noticed a really disturbing thing. The knight, who is armored for horsback, has a right sabaton that looks like it's about size 20 EEEE. It was really disturbing.

Scholastic has right of first refusal on Brandon's next children's book. So Brandon could write book 5 and offer it to them, and if they don't want it, he can take it somewhere else.

Ohh. Okay. So if he wanted to make a fifth he could. I get it.

I just wanted to share that the cover is now fixed. It now says Knights of Crystallia.

Miyabi · « **Reply #252 on:** May 13, 2009, 06:03:08 AM »

I forget, did anyone mention how the knight's arms hang to his knees?

Peter Ahlstrom · « **Reply #253 on:** May 13, 2009, 06:10:49 AM »

Maybe it's powerarmor.

Is the knight a he? I was wondering who that was. $:-\$ The covers are mostly not to size. Alcatraz looks like Harry Potter if you notice.
