I'm glad to hear there'll be a sequel, because ROLLING seemed to set 
things up and then not go anywhere with them.  But I enjoyed it -- it 
just didn't feel like an ending to me.

However, it looks like we'll both have to wait, since he's working on a 
postapocalyptic novel before either DARK LIGHTNING or the long-awaited 
IRONTOWN BLUES.
