Re: Fourth Book Cancelled
I don't think so... well, sshe sent me the story, you all judge for yourself.
Eragon Falls Prey to the Bear Market By STEVEN WILCOX Associated Press Writer
NEW YORK CITY (AP) Stunning news in the literary world this week, as Random House announces that the last book in the popular Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini has been "posponed indefinitely". The fourth and final book in the epic fantasy series, the as yet "untitled" work was set to tie up the adventure entertainingly presented in the previous volumes; Eragon (2003), Eldest (2005), and Brisingr (2008). The Inheritance Cycle was one of the most popular young adult's series in the last decade, selling over twenty million copies worldwide. It spawned a live action movie, the eponymous Eragon (2006), several video games, and a multitude of merchandise from action figures to replicas of the magical swords used by the various characters.
Random House was contacted for comment, but declined to elaborate on the specifics, only saying that a major announcement would be coming later this week, elaborating on this decision.
Mr Paolini could not be reached for comment.
I think it's more likely that they're going to delay it for a bit.. there also could be financial trouble with the company itself.. we don't know anything yet.

They sign contracts with their publishing house, it's not that simple unfortunately. :/ But.. at least it will come out sometime.. :/ The economy's starting to look up. By the way, they updated the article since I saw it last.. they're going to hold a press conference on monday as an explanation.

You'd be wise not to say that so loudly. The homers may look cute and jolly, but they're deadlier than snake venom and can bite faster than fat kids eating Mighty Kid's meals at Macca's!!!

They are eyesight? Who is eyesight? Obviously you have been confuddled by the homers' psychological brainpowers of being able to mesmerize young men who like felines.
