I know its about FitzChivalry and its called "Fool's Errand" and it comes out in the US in Jan./Feb. 2002 but has anybody heard anything else about it like where its going to take up Fitz's story? I take it the Fool is involved from the title but thats about it.

As far as we know, it takes up the story of Fitz at the age of 35, the book begin with Fitz having a visit from his old teacher in the assasins craft (help me out with the name guys!), who... surprise surprise, has a quest for Fitz...

Old teacher? You mean Chade? Sounds interesting...

Tasters for the new 'Tawny Man' series - can't wait!

I'm pretty scared of this series.
After the last one ended so good, with for once the hero retires to live a quiet life away from the crowds who don't know he saved them anyway, unlike other series, i'm afraid she is going to ruin it with this series.

Thankyou for the link Shadowen.
I have been looking forward to further works from Robin Hobb since then end of "the liveship traders"

I have a question for Robin Hobb fans though, what is the timeline relation between the two existing series?
I could not figure it out, do they occur simultaneously or is "Liveship Traders" sometime after "the Farseer Trilogy"?

[Barbarossa]

Cauthon, LT is set somewhat after FS.
For once the war in the six duchies is mentioned as mostly ended by now.

Also since Amber is the fool and had time to come down and set up a shop some time has gone by, obviously.

[Arwena]

Ambers is the fool? *gapes* But she doesn't look much like the fool, does she? Where did you find this out? *curious* I think it could very well be true, since I remember Amber saying, "I have been called a fool as often as a prophet" or something like that.
