I’d like to see the Hardy Boys book that shows Frank going to college and getting a girl pregnant and Joe picking up a meth habit.
I’d really like to see that last book too.
There’s quite a few books that I’d like to see come out, but most of them are not actually necessary for the series. I just like some worlds and settings, and would like to see more stories in them.
I don’t get into series unless I know they are finished (LOTR) or don’t care how many I read (Kinsey Milhone mysteries), but one that I was hoping to see a sequel to was Architect of Sleep by Steven R. Boyett. He get’s so much flak about “when are you going to finish” that he has a lengthy part of his website dedicated to answering it –> here.
From there:
(I think part of the fascination with that book is reading his description of the publishing process, and the aftermath for why there was no immediate sequel.)
That’s from Mark Twain, “The Innocents Abroad”.
Yookeroo- I agree 100%.
I’m waiting for Clive Barker to write the third Book of the Art. After *The Great and Secret Show * and Everville there was supposed to be a third. I’m still waiting!
Mark Frost’s The List of Seven was a truly ripping yarn.
In it, we meet a young Doctor, A. Conan Doyle. With his small practice, he has time to write & investigate the occult. After a seance that goes horribly wrong, he becomes drawn into a fiendish plot that extends to the hightest reaches of British Society–& beyond. And he assists Jack Sparks, Special Agent to the Crown–a brilliant investigator with several “quirks” & a dark past. After the thrilling & chilling adventure concludes, Young Doctor Doyle marries & settles into a quiet practice. Then, he begins a series of stories about a Great Detective–based upon the unforgettable Jack Sparks.
I really loved this book & snatched up The 6 Messiahs the minute it was released. It was an initial disappointment–not as excellent as I’d hoped. On later re-reading, it rose in my estimation.
Frost did not say he was beginning a series–but it certainly seemed likely. Perhaps the second book didn’t sell? But–there are at least 5 stories still out there. Full of derring do & wild adventure.
I am deeply disappointed that death forced James Herriott to abandon his country vet books.
That’s the one I came in to note, as well.
Although he is supposedly working on Janissaries IV. I’ll believe it when I see it.
Ed McBain’s final 87th Precient mysery was suppose to be EXIT, but he died before writing it 
That was it, thanks! Was the series actually completed with the third book?
Lyda Morehouse’s apocalypse books.
There’s 4 of them out:
Archangel Protocol
Fallen Host
Messiah Node
Apocalypse Array
She had planned to write more, but they didn’t do as well as hoped so they were all remaindered. I need to buy the other three. Quite interesting though. Kinda cyberpunk meets archangels and the apocalypse. Lucifer, Uriel, Michael and Gabriel make appearances throughout the books and it’s not all based around one religion. Even the angels are of different religions and use whatever pronouns are appropriate at the time to describe God(dess).
I wanted to see what the new Messiah would do, but unfortunately there was only one book actually about her (the first is more about the world and her conception, the last is when she’s a teen and just discovering her path. The ones between are about various things, like Lucifer or the AI’s).
Ah, but all the other volumes of The Chronicles of Master Li and Number Ten Ox were destroyed to prevent them from spreading corruption, if you’ll recall. 
I’d love to see more of the Chronicles too, but only if Hughart could maintain the quality of the first three books. Fortunately, each book is self-contained. At least we have closure.
This series is the reason I will no longer start reading a series until all books are available. I’m a bit behind on my reading, but I’m not going nuts waiting between books!
Johanna,
I haven’t read the books, so I don’t know.
I’m still waiting for the next book in the The Journeys of McGill Feighan by Kevin O’Donnell Jr. Though I note that work on book 5 has been “in progress” for a couple of years now.
JOhn.
Hell, I’m still waiting for Jack Pearl to write book # 3 of the Space Eagle series. You know, the one with Space Warp Infinity Finity Transport (aka S.W.I.F.T.)
Anybody else ever read those? 
I want to know how Harry Flashman served on both sides of the American Civil War.
Fourth (or howevermany it may be) for the Chtorr series AND the sequet to Threshold, dammit.
Let me also add the McGill Feighan series by Kevin O’Donnell, Jr. Four books in, with a fascinating premise, and the last one, Cliffs, is now 21 years back. He’s announced the title for his fifth book, Plains, on his website, but it hasn’t been updated for more than two years. Had a chance to meet him at Westercon back in 1990, and was much impressed. He’s a class act.
Hope all is well with him…
The Bannerman series by John R. Maxim. Bannerman’s Prophecy was supposed to come out a few years ago.
Huh…it’s been a long time since I read that series, but I had sort of gotten the idea that it kinda wrapped up at the end of the fourth book. With him saving the great whatever the hell from the bird plauge. Seemed like a natural sort of open ending that type of series would have.
