Hoping for Galahad's Hope

[meteordust]

The Wikipedia entry for the Seafort Saga has this to say about the unpublished final book:

Galahad's Hope is the working title of the eighth and final book in the Seafort Saga of science fiction novels, and the sequel to Children of Hope. The manuscript was reported to be completed before the death of author David Feintuch; however, Orbit UK has no current plans to publish this book. According to an Orbit online marketing executive, they haven't been approached by anyone connected to David Feintuch with a view to publishing the manuscript.

I noticed the entry was recently updated:

Conn Iggulden's latest book Nero has an acknowledgement "To Jetti Feintuch, who let me read her father's last, unpublished book."

Argh. The suspense! The unfairness!

Then again, considering how ruthless Feintuch has been about killing off people Nick cares about, maybe it's just as well the story stops where it does.

You would hope that the final book of a series would end with "happily ever after" and not "rocks fall, everyone dies". But I don't know! I just don't know.
