This splendid news just in via Stan Nicholls.
"Transworld are delighted to announce that David Gemmell's wife, Stella, is going to complete FALL OF KINGS, the final novel in the Troy trilogy.
David delivered 70,000 words of FALL OF KINGS to his editor the day before he went into hospital, taking the story up to the final siege. (where he later sadly passed away after a great legacy of writing)
He had discussed the storyline with Stella who has been deeply involved with the research and creation of the trilogy since its inception in 2003. He left behind him a chapter by chapter plan as to how each character should develop and how he saw the final novel ending.
David's editor at Transworld, Selina Walker, says she's in no doubt that there is no better person than Stella to conclude this magnificent trilogy of novels in the way David would have wanted."
Hurrah.
Great news.... finally the thrid book should feature Achilles and Hektor in DETAIL, and resolve everything so far.
An emotional trilogy so far, one packed with war and honour...
After his passing away, it seemed as if there would be no third book to tie everything, to finish wat everything has so far been leading up to...this seems like a miracle.
