Well, that just happened.

Philip Pullman has written (and possibly completed) The Book of Dust, a prequel and sequel trilogy to His Dark Materials. It starts with Lyra as a baby and explores how she ended up at Oxford, and then jumps forward to 30 years after the original trilogy. Pullman has indicated that numerous other characters from the first trilogy will return and the focus will be on a confrontation between totalitarianism and liberty.

This started off as a very modest companion book/short story collection over a decade ago, but it sounds like the story grew in the telling.

Book 1 will be out in October.

I need to read his dark materials again it seems. I thought it ended with basically the end of the world, cataclysm.... I must have been wrong.


It ended with a cataclysm being averted and the universe being saved.


I applaud the concept, if not the execution. Pullman's writing just didn't do much for me, much as I wanted to love it.
