and "A Call to Arms" (Oct 2015)

Well, that is a question I ask often, right up there with whats up with the movie? Although I can highly recommend John Ringo's "Live Free or Die" series, he seems to have learned from DW his writing style. Best audiobook listen I have had since my last HH audiobook. I do hope DW will be able to get one out this year.

DW is getting a book out this year--several, in fact. They just aren't in the "modern" Honorverse timeline. Hells' Gate is scheduled for July. The sword of the South is scheduled for August. A Call to Arms is scheduled for October. Hell's Foundations Quiver is also due out in October, from Tor/Forge. And paperback edition of Shadow of Freedom, A Call to Duty, and Cauldron of Ghosts come out in the next six months, along with the leatherbound edition of Field of Dishonor.

That's four new books, three paperback new editions, and a special leather edition, all in six months. How much more David Weber do you think the publishers can do in a year? (Not to mention how fast David can push it out.)

In other words: It is a matter of priority.

T'be fair, though, the paperbacks/new editions of older books should require relatively little time or effort on David's part, with special editions taking up a bit more, but not a massive amount, maybe a new forward/afterwards, maybe an expanded appendix. It's the new stuff that takes up time and effort.

Unfortunately for some reason instead of just releasing books in hard cover then Mass Market Paperback they seem to release the honor books in hardcover followed by Trade Paperback (Which cost more then Mass Market Paperbacks and then months after the trade paperbacks hit they release them in mass market form (cheapest and both easiest to store and carry around)

I sometimes wish a publisher would eliminate the pretense that buying a hardcover is anything other than paying more to get the book earlier and adopt a pricing model based on actual costs and make all formats available from day 1, with something like a hardcover at $X, trade paperback at $X-2, mass market paperback at $X-3, and ebook at $X-5.
