Title: The Unholy Consult Update Thread!
Post by: Madness on September 16, 2016, 04:56:04 pm: As we have more news over the coming months, Wilshire and I will keep this thread updated. I didn't want to put "official release date" in the thread title and incite people.

But for now... The Unholy Consult exists! (https://rsbakker.wordpress.com/2016/09/16/updatage-2/)

The Unholy Consult (https://www.amazon.com/Unholy-Consult-Aspect-Emperor-Book-Four/dp/1468314866/ref=sr_1_11?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1476027600&sr=1-11) - Amazon; with synopsis, be wary (TGO Spoilers).

Also, link, in case the hyperlink redirects: https://www.amazon.com/Unholy-Consult-Aspect-Emperor-Book-Four/dp/1468314866/ref=sr_1_11?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1476027600&sr=1-11

Post by: Madness on November 22, 2016, 02:18:03 am: Semi-recent update: Overlook Summer 2017 catalogue (http://edelweiss.abovethetreeline.com/CatalogOverview.aspx?source=catalog&catalogID=4052732&startIndex=10&rows=10&sord=1&savecook=1&org=#title_19).

Same old face cover. Same old egregious spelling error and probably terrible synopsis...

Overlook, do you not like us fans?

Listing says July 4th 2017.

More confirmation, this time from Bakker on his blog: (https://rsbakker.wordpress.com/2017/01/13/the-unholy-consult/)
Quote
The Unholy Consult, the penultimate book of The Aspect-Emperor, is set to be released this July, ending a story arc that has been my obsession for some thirty years now. I’m far from done with the Three Seas, of course: The Second Apocalypse possesses one final chapter. But this arc was the animating vision, the feverish sequence of glimpses I used to paint the whole.

My emphasis.
Also noteworthy, "the Second Apocalypse possesses one final chapter".

Post by: Madness on May 04, 2017, 01:16:41 am: The dates on Amazon appear to be shifting:

.co.uk is still the July 6th.
.com has changed from the 4th to the 11th.
.ca is the 18th.

Also, Pat has shared a "Quote of the Day (http://fantasyhotlist.blogspot.ca/2017/05/quote-of-day.html)" from TUC on the Hotlist, which amounts to an excerpt a couple paragraphs long. Definitely showcases Bakker's amazing writing!

I'm a pretty big purist and I think it's spoiler free. Very well done!
