цитата

Четвёртый роман из цикла Instrumentalities, Working God’s Mischief (мне хотелось бы написать и пятый, He Lost His Shadow Somehow, но это вряд ли произойдёт. Продажи серии в мягком переплёте и в виде электронной книги были разочаровывающими, так что даже продать четвёртый том было сложной задачей).

Some time after I wrote and posted this review, I had the chance to spend an hour or so talking to Mr. Cook at Boskone (a science fiction convention in the Boston area). I asked him about this book, and he mentioned that a good part of the reason for the abrupt start to the book was that the original text was cut down by something like 80,000 words. He said he'd been writing a lot of multi-book series before he sat down to start The Dragon Never Sleeps, and had the contract for the book written to exclude any possibility of this book turning into a series. Whereupon, predictably enough, he found the book expanding in length to the point where it would've been more appropriate to break it into several pieces and make it yet another series. Though he had his agent look into the possibility, he opted to do a serious editing job instead, and cut the length down by about a third, resulting in one of the leanest books you're ever likely to encounter.

He said he took several months away from writing, and [at the time of the podcast] was getting back into the swing of things.
