Don't buy any books until the series is complete. But I don't think authors want that. If we did that, then they'd never make any money until the series is complete--which means the series would never be complete because nobody will have the opportunity to write a second book if nobody bought the first. So I do believe that authors do owe the fans something. They need to deliver the next book in the series within a reasonable amount of time. This is a silent contract between reader and author and I don't think either side is happy when the terms of the contract are modified.(less)
