I've been eagerly awaiting Mankind Divided, but first and foremost, have been anticipating Black Light. I loved Icarus Effect (it's so well written and fits into the mythos so well that I've read it a few times!), but I only found out about it some time after I had played and beaten Human Revolution; I wish I would have found out about it sooner. That said, would releasing Black Light two weeks to a month ahead of the game not be to greater effect, giving readers/players a chance to fill that story gap before playing the game? Would Titan and Eidos be willing to put the book out early?

At any rate, thanks for all the work you've done on the series so far; the stories you've written and the world you've helped shape feel palpable.
