“No,” Brust said, deadpan. “If I die I want all of you to suffer too.”

Ha! I knew about the lack of notes, but not the motivation. LOL!

Two years ago, Brust had said the tentatively-Tsalmoth book was (tentatively?) set between Yendi and Jhereg (which is a really odd place to set one of your books when trying to wrap up a series, but hey, I love earl Vlad, so I wouldn't be complaining...), but I don't think I've seen anything either confirming or contradicting that since.
