Last post on this topic was a while ago I know, but some info on his troy series. The third and final book in the series has been finished by a multitude of authors (I believe one is Conn Iggulden who is another fantastic historic-fiction author). No word on the publishing date as of yet.

Conn finishing it would be great, either way my copy is still pre-ordered and has not been canceled so as far as I know it is still to come out though that isn't confirmed that I know of.
