Please Complete the Wolves of Time
By signing this petition you are making a plea to the William Horwood and HarperCollins Publishers to undo the injustice that has been done and complete The Wolves of Time as originally intended.
The purpose of this petition is to thank Mister William Horwood for writing The Wolves of Time and to show his publisher that there are fans of this story that enjoyed it very much. To those of us who found ourselves unable to put this book down, it is as though an injustice has been done in that the story had not been completed properly.
I would like to see Mister Horwood complete and publish the last two volumes of The Wolves of Time trilogy as he had originally intended. By signing this petition one is making a plea to the author and to his publisher to undo the injustice that has been done. It isn't fair to leave such a wonderful story only partly told.
Dear Mister Horwood, if you can, please complete this story and "howl down the wolves of time" as you had originally intended.
The following quote was borrowed from: http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Cavern/3919/TWOT/index.html
A quote by William Horwood: "When Volume 1 [of The Wolves of Time] was published in the UK as a hardback it was extremely successful. Unfortunately a trade dispute between the publisher HarperCollins and our biggest book retailer WH Smith meant that the latter took punitive action against the former in the autumn of WOLVES 1 paperbacking, along with two other of that publisher's autumn titles. As a result Volume 1 of Wolves was effectively wiped out. Because trilogies rely on a high sale of the initial volume to sell on the next two volumes there was statistically no chance of Vols 2 & 3 having significant sales. Publishers and the public are unforgiving and attach blame to authors not themselves and booksellers [...] I myself took the decision to rewrite Volume 2 to include the main part of Volume 3. Effectively it was Volume 2 that was scrapped not Volume 3."
