Read all three books in middle school and have been anxiously waiting for 4 years for the fourth book to come out! Can’t wait until Spring! Hope there are no more delays. Also best of wishes to you Mr. and Mrs. Roberts in your new life.
Thank you, Jessie.
Mr. Roberts,
Hello! I am an aspiring writer myself. I came into the series just last week after discovering Viking Warrior on Prime. Typically speaking, I read a lot but when I have finished a book by a particular author or in a series I have to put the author or series down for a time and move on to another book in order to keep from getting burnt out on the style or characters.
Your stories about Halfdan are the first time in a very long time I’ve not had that issue. After completing Viking Warrior, I immediately purchased Dragons from the Sea – and felt the ending came far too soon. As soon as I can muster together the money I plan on purchasing the next book, and I am eagerly chomping at the bits just to see what happens to Halfdan – and Genevive – next.
Thank you for providing an entertaining tale with a keen eye for historicity.
Thank you, James, and good luck with your writing.
Mr Roberts,
I am currently deployed on a US Navy ship, during my free time I enjoy reading on my kindle. In the past have really only read westerns, usually Louis L’Amour and Zane Grey. I have only recently started to read more historical ficition. I discovered your books browsing the historical fiction in the amazon kindle store. I have recently read the 3 books of the strongbow series. I really enjoyed them. It took me a week to read all 3 books; I couldnt put them down. I put off checking your website until I finished the 3 books. I didnt want to have any spoilers. I am really looking forward to the 4th book now. I plan to purchase it for my kindle as soon as possible.
Thank you, Tucker, and be careful out there!
Hi Judson
I am sure i speak for every single one of you loyal readers in saying that we would all rather wait until the book was ready than to rush you.
Glad to hear all is well.
🙂
Thank you, Paul.
I know that people are probably tired of being asked this question, but when is book 4 the long hunt being relased?
Mr. Roberts plans for a release this year, but that is only if he is able to finish it. If you have any suggestion for the fourth book, feel free to leave them here.
Hope everything is okay…we have not had a message in 60 days. I t;hink this is the longest we have gone without something new.
Thank you for asking, Melissa. I’m touched by and very appreciative of your concern. I’m fine, but have been totally overwhelmed recently with far too much more to do than I have time for, so I’m running very behind on everything–including posting here and, unfortunately, my writing. I’ll try to post a status update on book 4 very soon.
Judson- What about hiring a ghost writer? That way even if you’re busy, readers can still get the book within the next couple of months here. I mean absolutely no offense, but I’ve been waiting something that feels like 4-5 years here.
So I should sacrifice the integrity of the series because you’ve been waiting four or five years? I don’t think so. Some things are worth waiting for. 🙂
I’m glad you are okay. I was not rushing you, I just did not want anything to be the matter with you.
I just want to say that the Strongbow saga are definitely some of my favourite books. Thank you so much for keeping the series going and giving me such an amazing story to get lost in.
Thanks, Ahaitin.
First of, as many others have said, the Strongbow Saga is quite phenomenal. I read then a few years ago and enjoyed them at that point, and resently reread then after seeing the the next of the series was planned to be released in the coming months. My only quibble would be that they lack more detail and are t short, but I digress.
I for one will not pester you for a specific release date as that question has been answered many times over, and I also understand that, as a writer, you would like to make the story as enjoyable and factual as possible for your audiance. Instead, I would like to thank you for sticking with your writing despite the lack of due credit it has recieved. As for myself, I beleive that this storyline could be made into a wonderful movie with the right director and hope that in time it has such an oppertunity if you would like to take your seires down that path. For now I just hope that some how it will be revealed as the enjoyable plot it is to other young adult audiences.
With the release of the begining chapter of the forth book, I was excited to see that more progress has been made in terms of the search for Toke, as well as Halfdan’s return to his rightful home. Truth be told, while away for the books original characters, save for our narrator, I made guess as to what may have happened to them and one of the guess I made was that upon returning Toke may have forcefully married Sigrid in order to have more of a claim to Hrorik’s lands. Now, however, I see that such a thing no longer matters as he is aware that the danish officials know of his treachery and has seemed to be on a run of sorts and cannot safely lay such a claim over them.
Oh well, your plans for this tale will soon be know to us and I look forward to that day. Thanks for the ejoyable read so far, it was a nice break from A song of Ice and Fire.
The three books are great reads to all not ,just the young .
I just hope the movie does justice to the book, unlike The Vampire’s Assistant did to Darren Shan’s, The Saga of Darren Shan.
This is an open letter to all viewers of this site. Read through the posts and see how MANY times people are asking when the next book is coming out. Judson Roberts has already answered over and over again. There is no reason why EVERYBODY has to ask the question again. I am looking forward to the book as much as the next person but please stop asking the SAME QUESTIONS. There, I got it off my chest and I feel better.
Thanks. I love to hear from readers, but that question does get a little old.
You literally have to scroll to the bottom of the page to create a new comment, so I’m slightly shocked people haven’t read some of the other questions… However Judson, I think we all wish that your answer will be ‘tomorrow’ instead of a few months 😉
To add to my own list of previous questions… Will there be more looting scenes in the next book, or since he does have a mass of wealth, any bartering for supplies or trinkets?
Book 4 is going to be somewhat darker. Probably less looting, more killing. And tomorrow? I’m glad you want that, but it’s way beyond my abilities. I’ve been kind of sick lately, which slows things down a bit.
Hello my name is Luis, but you can probably tell. I’m not sure if you know a teacher named Mr.Pierce he told me you sent us these little medals.Well anyways I love your books…. I barely finished the 3rd book and I was wondering when the 4th book will come out :).
Hopefully by the end of this year. I’m working on it.
