Book 13 cover and delay; CK short story forthcoming

David Wingrove has posted an update on his Facebook page with a few new updates, including the cover for the Fragile Books re-release of Chung Kuo Book 13: Beneath the Tree of Heaven. Unfortunately, publication of the volume has been delayed because of the COVID-19 situation.

However, he teased the release of a Chung Kuo short story, presumably to be published on his own website or that of Fragile Books. Good news indeed!

While you patiently wait on this story, remember that there a couple of his Chung Kuo short stories here on this this site: Paperhouse and Black Stone, White.

More news at it arrives!

Book 12 and 13 updates

Many thanks to site commenter Ross for providing an update about the status of Book 12 (Beneath the Tree of Heaven) and Book 13 (Song of the Bronze Statue). He writes that David Wingrove let him know:

Hey Ross, the cover’s just in. Book is typeset. So going into production next week. Sorry for the delay. I’m hoping book 13 will be following not too long afterwards. Cheers, David

Hopefully this is good news for those of us who have been waiting for any news since the publication of Upon a Wheel of Fire in November of last year.
