RH announced Third (and Fourth) book in the Eragon series.
Yeah. You read that right.
Been waiting what, three years for them to announce the third book and now they're saying it's gotten so big they had to split into a fourth book as well. (which better not take another three years to be announced.)
Well anyways, Book Three (as yet untitled) is set to come out in 11 months (bloody hell!) on Septembet 23, 2008. And no date is given for book four.
here's the press release if you want to hear a bunch of fluff.

Re: RH announced Third (and Fourth) book in the Eragon series.
OH THAT IS JUST SWEET!!!! 
THANK YOU FOR THAT MY FRIEND! I HAD TO BUY THE FIRST ONE.........WILL DO THE SAME FOR THE REST. 
(here's the text incase someone does not have the ability to read a pdf file)
For Release Tuesday, October 30, 2007 @ 9:00 am EDT
ALFRED A. KNOPF BOOKS FOR YOUNG READERS TO PUBLISH BOOK THREE OF
CHRISTOPHER PAOLINI’S #1 BESTSELLING INHERITANCE SERIES
SEPTEMBER 23, 2008
SERIES WILL BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE A FOURTH FULL-LENGTH NOVEL
Christopher Paolini, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Eragon and Eldest, the first two books in
his Inheritance series, will write an additional, fourth novel about his hero Eragon, it was announced today
by Nancy Hinkel, Publishing Director of Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers, an imprint of Random
House Children’s Books. Originally planned as a trilogy, Inheritance will now include four complete
novels written by Paolini and be named the Inheritance cycle.
Knopf also announced that it will publish Book Three, as yet untitled, in a national laydown in the United
States and Canada on September 23, 2008. Book Four is not yet scheduled for publication.
Book Three will be published simultaneously in the United Kingdom by Random House Children’s Books.
It will also be released simultaneously in the United States as an audiobook from Random House’s Listening
Library division. Random House Children’s Books’ subsidiary rights team will sell the translation rights for
Books Three and Four to publishers worldwide, as it did with Eragon and Eldest.
“I plotted out the Inheritance series as a trilogy nine years ago, when I was fifteen. At that time, I never
imagined I’d write all three books, much less that they would be published” said Paolini. “When I finally
delved into Book Three, it soon became obvious that the remainder of the story was far too big to fit in one
volume. Having spent so long thinking about the series as a trilogy, it was difficult for me to realize that, in
order to be true to my characters and to address all of the plot points and unanswered questions Eragon and
Eldest raised, I needed to split the end of the series into two books.”
Michelle Frey, Executive Editor with Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers, who worked with Paolini
on Eragon and Eldest, will also edit Books Three and Four. The overall story is not changing, and the
series will end as Paolini always envisioned.
Paolini’s fans will be able to see him talking about the fourth book in an exclusive video message that will
air on his Web site, www.alagaesia.com, beginning at 5:00 pm EDT today, October 30, 2007.
“Christopher has really grown as a writer,” said Hinkel. “And the next two books promise to deliver even
more of his signature heart-stopping adventure, as well as thrilling revelations about the characters whom
fans around the world have come to love.”
Both #1 New York Times bestsellers in the United States, Eragon and Eldest have also been international
sensations. To date there are 50 foreign-language licenses for Eragon alone, and together, Eragon and
Eldest have sold 12.5 million copies worldwide. In its first week on sale in North America in August 2005,
Eldest sold more than 425,000 hardcover copies, making Eldest the greatest single-week sale ever recorded
for a Random House Children’s Books title—hardcover or paperback—and the fastest-selling title in the
publisher’s history.
Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers is an imprint of Random House Children’s Books, the world’s
largest English-language children’s trade book publisher. Random House Children’s Books is a division of
Random House, Inc., whose parent company is Bertelsmann AG, a leading international media company.

Re: RH announced Third (and Fourth) book in the Eragon series.
yeah he sure took his sweet time on Three, having little flights of fancy like writing with an old timey ink-well pen.

Re: RH announced Third (and Fourth) book in the Eragon series.
In the latest newsletter, Paolini talked about how the addition of the fourth book has changed plans for the cover and title of the third.
He also mentioned "My friends at Random House have some exciting pre-publication activities planned for 2008. You can anticipate that something new and interesting will be revealed each month, beginning in January."
So maybe the continued wait won't be so hard on us.

Re: RH announced Third (and Fourth) book in the Eragon series.
Well, the first new thing, it seems, is that the still-untitled third book is now available for preorder from www.randomhouse.com
(but I'd wait for the e-tailers like Amazon to offer it at a lower price before ordering)

Re: RH announced Third (and Fourth) book in the Eragon series.
and SURPRISE! they revealed the title, cover, and a new release date.
BRISINGR will feature a black (or dark brown?) cover with an image of the gold dragon, and will now be released a few days earlier on September 20.
