Ever on
New Tolkien book to be published next month
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
An unfinished book by "Lord of the Rings" author J.R.R. Tolkien, which was completed by his son, will go on sale on next month.
"The Children of Hurin", which Tolkien began in 1918, will be in bookshops on April 17. The author's son, Christopher, spent 30 years completing the story from the many drafts produced by his father. Publisher HarperCollins is keeping exact details of the story under close wraps but its description as "an epic story of adventure, tragedy, fellowship and heroism."

I agree with scorpio: I hope it is much better than The Silmarillion, which the article stated his son also completed after his father's death.
That said, if it is near as good as the trilogy I have read dozens of times, way cool!!
They are also talking a movie....
