Book 19 rumor thread

[Snark Knight]

I thought it was going to be 18 is Fight Night, 19 is the Dragon one, and 20 is the return of Nicodemus.

I am not for sure, either. Really could use a summary of future book rumors and WOJ

Well, there's this: http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,21772.msg947686.html#msg947686

Relevant:

Is DF all planned out or outlined?    
A general outline/events have been planned since 1995.  Two extra books are planned as DF is two books behind. 

So probably 22+3

When are we going to see dragons again?
Dude, I can’t possibly do a dragon thing unless it’s a whole book. So that would be book….20 or 21, something like that. Probably 21. Yeah, that seems about right.

Do you expect to change your method of going forward a year in your storyline each book?  Will you do any big jumps forward or maybe even backward?
Yes I'm going to keep doing that because it works a little bit better for me to keep track of what year it is in the story.  Am I going to make any big leaps forward or backwards?  Well there is a whole law of magic about messing with time, and given it's a law of magic, Dresden is gonna have to break it eventually. 

We’ve still go the really excited things in front of us.  We’ve got giants and apocalii (which I judge to be the plural of apocalypse).  Kaiju and gods.  Plus we’re going to have a dragon vs. wizard fight.  Because…you knew that was coming.

Kaiju is like godzilla-type stuff.
Also I can't find the WoJ but there is one mentioning aircraft carriers.

That helps, thanks.

Aircraft Carriers?  Not fulfilled in changes I assume.

[Talby16]

Harry Dresden called aboard an aircraft carrier by the US Navy to solve a mystery with supernatural indicators. Harry has to not only find the killer, but deal with strict military regulations and authority.

I am hoping for Sue on a carrier that smashes into a kaiju and Sue scurries up its back like velocorapters on a T-Rex.

Have you seen the latest Jurassic Park movie?

That is a great mental image. I thank you sir.

[wardenferry419]

Yep, and that is where I got the idea.

Welcome.

Would Sue be preformed or in bone form on the carrier? Transporting a live T-rex on a character would not be ideal, but drawing the energy to form Sue in a ship on the ocean may be beyond Harry's abilities. Regardless, I want to see the Navy's reaction to a live T-rex on a ship.

[Kindler]

Think more ludicrously.

Sue eating the Lincoln Memorial.
Sue getting trapped in Wrigley Field during the World Series.
Sue chewing up Arctis Tor while the Erlking laughs.

...Sue on the International Space Station.

[wardenferry419]

I excell at ludicrous and go straight to plaid.

[Kindler]

Plaid would be... Sue terraforming Mars.
