	Indeed as stated in my first paragraph.
	After he brought in the Magical Empress of Japan versus
the Korean shaman supporting the anti-life forces he must
have decided the limb he was out on was too weak to support
further developement
	Any time he wants to do a sequel to Conquistador I await
with abated breath.  Same for Charles Stross contining his
inter-world saga.  The Laundry files were over with the manifestation
of careless evil savoring brutality taking over the government
of the UK.  They need a magic draining spell to clear that whole
messy world up.
