Where is the publication of AI War?

I've read "The Long Run" at least three times and "Emerald Eyes" and "The Last Dancer" each once. They are all fantastic, but I have one burning question - Where is The AI War listed as a completed work in the inside cover of "Emerald Eyes" new edition. This has to be the new volume on Trent the Uncatchable. The "Storyteller" has already told that he will die and then come back before disappearing into space and he has warned of the threat of an "AI War" so it figures that this volume would be the book we've been waiting for, originally promised to be completed by 1993. So much happens in each of the volumes that you really have to check back and forth to see who the players are and who they will become, but the work as a whole is fascinating. I'd commend it to any sci-fi fan like myself. It's the best series since Gordon R Dickson finished the "Dorsai Saga".

Great Series, Great Author. What happened to him??

I agree with everyone else. Really great, believable, authentic. Many of his ideas are showing up in other books. I keep looking for more of him, but he seems to have fallen off the ends of the earth. Read these books if you like hardSF future histories.

Unbelieveably GREAT

One of the BEST sci-fi books of all time! I first read this book about 15 years ago when it first came out. It, along with The Long Run and The Last Dancer, is definitely one of the best books that I've ever read. These are really the first great cyberpunk books in my mind. Every time I go to the book store I check to see if there's a new book out by Moran. Far better than Gibson and right up there with Neal Stephenson. I wish that some publisher would pick up Daniel Keys Moran and give us more of this great universe.Characters that you realy care about and a plot that forces you to stay up all night long to see what's going to happen next are the reason that my original copy was worn ragged as I forced all my friends to read this series. Ask anyone who's read his books and you'll have to gag them to get them to stop praising his books. I liked it so much that I bought two copies of the whole limited edition series including Armageddon Blues which is not part of the series but is great for it's ideas. The writing in Armageddon Blues is not quite as polished as Emerald Eyes and the others but it's still a great read.This is one of those rare stories that takes place in the near enough future with characters that are real enough that you really care what happens to them, and you have a sense that this could be the future that we will all experience in our lifetime. It's full of things like a reverse microwave to instantly cool things down that you wish you had in your own kitchen. If you can't afford to buy this book go ask your local library to buy it. Just make sure that you READ this book!

Absolutely Incredible

One of the greatest mistakes ever made by a publisher was stopping the production of this book. It is truly, in my opinion, one of the greatest books written. Once you start, it is almost impossible to put it down. It's a shame that this novel is now so hard to find. I hope and pray the author completes this 33 volume epic.

It Will BLOW YOU AWAY!!!

Every now and then, a book comes along that will simply blow you away. Even though I read this book several years back, it's on my list of books that I'll read again. Withstanding that though, it's a book that will stay with you forever. It will scar your mind with its visualizations and story-telling. Even after all this time, I remember a painting that Mr Moran described. A painting that allows you to look at the perceptions of the characters, and give you a deep horror born shudder. And I'm not going to describe the painting. For that, you'll have to read the book. And this book, along with the 2 sequels out so far, are on my list of Top 100 books of all time...in the top 10%. And considering all the books I've read, I think that high praise indeed
