That’s six books in eight years, with one year skipped at the beginning of the contract to help plan a push for The Collapsing Empire, the first book covered by it, and then 2021 skipped because COVID messed with book publishing and Tor thought - correctly! - that Kaiju would have a better chance in early 2022. Starter Villain, out in September, will be the sixth book in the contract, after the three Interdependency books, Head On, and The Kaiju Preservation Society. We noted at the time that we expected the contract to last for about a decade eight years on, it looks like we underestimated the length of time it would take to fulfill that contract. I can’t imagine anyone here doesn’t know what Will is talking about, but just to be safe: In May of 2015, I signed a 13-book, $3.4 million dollar contract with Tor. Not that any of this is our business of course, but since you’ve talked about it a fair amount, your avid readers are curious.Īre you satisfied with the deal you got? From Tor’s perspective are they satisfied with what they are getting? How is the schedule for the 13 books? But the longer he's away from his home, the more the Tripods look for him.and no one can hide from the monstrous machines forever.How’s the Big Damn Contract going? Hard to believe it’s been 8 years. And with the Tripods hunting for anyone who tries to break free, Will must reach the White Mountains fast. But after an encounter with a strange homeless man called Beanpole, Will sets out for the White Mountains, where people are said to be free from the control of the Tripods.īut even with the help of Beanpole and his friends, the journey is long and hard. With the approach of his thirteenth birthday, he expected to attend his Capping ceremony as planned and to become connected to the Tripods-huge three-legged machines-that now control all of Earth.

Will Parker never dreamed he would be the one to rebel against the Tripods.
