Unlkely, though not completely impossible

Some of those sample chapters are a couple of years old. "Mercy" is a personal favourite and I think we'll see a version of that in the very next episode.

To publish this year realistically means having final proofed edited copy done in the next eight weeks or so (I work in publishing). I'd love it to happen, but suspect we'll be looking at early next year (no point aiming for the traditional sales high-point which is Christmas, this is "another Harry Potter" - it will sell what it will sell, which is s**tloads, whenever it's out, so may as well time it in a usually-fallow sales period). I'd put it out late summer this year or maybe February next year. But I don't think he's finished it yet...
