The Winds of Winter release date or the latest Game of Thrones book installment is happening very soon, a new report said, pointing to key indicators that finally George R. R. Martin is letting out his most-awaited opus.
According to iDigitalTimes, signs are already out there and they point to the inevitable revelation of GRRM's follow up to the last GOT tome years ago. The publication boldly predicted that Martin will uncloak his new book anytime this fall then will opt for the actual issuance the new GOT title, likely in the last month of 2015.
The news site offered three signs that support its claim:
GRRM has become scarce
The renowned author is noticeably out of sight lately, which the report took as deliberate on Martin's part. The best explanation for this is for him to have time and put the finishing touches to the Winds of Winter manuscript that by this day should be in "finishable shape or nearly done."
GOT Season 6 production is underway
Season 6 of the Game of Thrones is definitely landing in 2016 and it follows that production of the show's episodes are already ongoing as shown by the recent leaks that Jon Snow will reappear and is therefore alive and kicking.
So the GOT filming must be using a source to based its continuing saga and GRRM is no doubt the provider. As suggested by iDigitalTimes, there has to be an existing Winds of Winter manuscript and Martin gave GOT producers access to this material.
It could be, as mentioned above, that the book is yet to reach the final form but the report seems convinced that it is at least an intense piece of work that is currently in progress.
Martin's word
Per GRRM, the Winds of Winter is touching down ahead of the Game of Thrones season 6 debut. Going by to what happened with the last book that was outed some five months before its corresponding show, then release date of the Winds of Winter should be between November and December 2015. The timing, of course, will depend of the supposed April 2015 premiere of the new GOT season.
