When I read Kerry’s post about how many people visit her site in search of news about the sequel to The Passage, I realized something: we’ve been holding out on you. At least a little bit. During my interview with Cronin for our June issue, we touched on the second volume in the trilogy, which he told me has a projected pub date of sometime in 2012. Not wanting to spoil the surprise, Cronin didn’t reveal any major developments, but what he did say is a little something to help you through the wait and whet your appetite.
If I could do it faster, I would, but I let them be written at the rate that they demand. I think people will be happy if it’s a great book, even if they have to wait. And volume two is, I hope, every bit as rich and engaging as the first one. It has new elements, as any book must, it’s not simply a straightforward continuation of volume one, though it certainly has that element. It has surprises aplenty, things you didn’t see coming but I hope you feel like oh, that’s just perfect.
Excellent! Thanks for sharing. I am still astounded at the percentage of hits I get based on searches relating to the sequel. 2012 seems far away, but worth the wait.
Great to read! I’ve just finished reading it last night and am publishing my review of it today – but I am so sad to know that I have to wait until 2012 to see what happens next! I wish, wish it would come out this year…!
Wow. That was completely useless. Let’s translate by sentence.

It be done when it be done.

It will be at least as good as the first one.

It’s got new stuff, it continues from the first one.
