Some information about the Fighter series can be found here within the Questions for Murray Leeder's thread.

Additional information might be found in other threads if you wish to do a search for that term. The above thread is the only one I immediately recalled.

Thanks Sirius.I remember that thread obviously from a while ago.The reason why this series popped into my head was that I was surfing around,and saw The Pereghost's name,and I did a search on him.Found some things,a few peoples take on him.I was wondering if a novel about him in the fighter series would be a good read?I believe that there was a thread where a few scribes wanted to see a paladin written about in the series.I want to see a fallen paladin.Any thoughts on that?Anyone???

I wonder if they'll be making series for all the classes. If they will, then there'll probably be a series about paladins, but it might get a bit redundant since all paladins are good and there wouldn't be that much difference in plot. I also am wondering whether they would have any other open-calls for the upcoming fighter series or any others if they plan on making a series for every class. That would be fun.

I figure the next one after the fighter series would be mages. From there, I wonder if other classes might come based upon how well received all these books are.

I'd like to see some on rangers, paladins, bards, or barbarians. There's gonna be a series on wizards after the Fighters series, so that's definately something to look forward to. Finally some wizards besides Elminster.

As far as I know all the titles for the Fighters Series have been contracted already. I'm only aware of two for the Wizards Series so far, my own, Bloodwalk and one other, but I'm not sure if that title's been released yet (Better not spill any early news here, but it does sound like a good one). The remaining two Wizards books are a mystery though, haven't heard anything about them.

Also, Mr. Davis, I like your signature a lot. Funny and makes sense.

Thank you Valondil, I'm a big fan of the Clive-man, well his older stuff mostly.

I should hope so Sirius! Otherwise I could be in big trouble!

Not claiming any special knowledge of series plans or anything, but personally I doubt if there will be class series beyond the Big 4 (Rogues, Priests, Fighters, Wizards). In The Yellow Silk, I was asked to make the "rogue" a bard - to my mind, that makes it at least unlikely that the editors would be thinking of a separate Bards series later.

I had a gut feeling that WOTC might just keep it simple like that. Thanks for sharing your insight.

And it has been mentioned elsewhere that Murray Leeder's Fighters novel will feature a barbarian. It sounds to me like it will just be the four "super" classes, with one or two novels in each series focusing on a "sub" class.
