ppint. 2nd Jul 2022		sequel is ''the wizard and the war machine'' (1987), q.v. lawrence watt evans became lawrence watt-evans at his editor's request/whatever and seems happy with this major change - shades of ''spell my name with an 's''' ? - and started turning this stand-alone novel with an abandoned attempt at a sequel into a trilogy, also at his editor, lester del rey,'s somewhat leisurely request, by rewriting the abandoned starting chapters and taking it from there. unfortunately, lester del rey's death, and publisher reorganisations further delayed the publication of the now-orphaned-at-the-publishers second novel, which was published with no apparent enthusiasm - and also no apparent promotional effort. he was left with nobody at all in an editorial position at ballantine books with the faintest idea of what he'd been asked to produce, let alone any interest in seeing an outline of a prospective third novel - and, after advice from his agent that his overtly fantasy novels earned him - and therefore his agent - ten times as much as those published as sf, he was content for this ''war surplus'' series to remain a duology.° (° - yr hmbl srppnt.'s précis of the publishing history described by the author on his website; i'm solely responsible for any inaccuracy that i may have introduced by précising his account.)
