I think Nathaniel should definately not come back. It would sap all of the power from the ending of Ptolemy's Gate. Nat's already died the best possible death that he could have been given... there's no way Mr. Stroud could one-up himself on that. A prequel would be nice, though...

I concur!

But it must be a prequel on Bartimaeus' life, 'cos I think Nat is done.

Edit: He said on his journal he's got ideas for a new book, now that he's done Heroes, so there might be hope.

Seriously? If he wrote another Bartimaeus book, I think I'd die of happiness!
I agree that a prequel would have to be about Bart, but that's no problem. You'd think that in 5000 years there'd have to be loads of great stories to tell...

But he didn't specifically say it was a Barti book. I'm just hoping. ^_^

Stuffing have you ever played Medal of Honor Spearhead by chance?

And I do think we've had a discussion like this somewhere else...

Ah, I wouldn't mind if there was a prequel. I mean I've read The Hobbit from LOTR, and it was kinda nice. Then there's the 3 prequel films for Star Wars, but I only saw Episode II so far. (Actually it's the only SW movie I can actually remember seeing. I only saw parts of Episode IV, and I'm not so sure about Episodes V and VI)

As for Nat dying, it's so sad how he died so young though... It was necessary for the trilogy anyway, so I have no problem.

Better not.

Don't worry, Google decided to take a permanent break.

*squee!*

Anyway, Nathaniel needs to stay dead. And yes, a Bartimaeus prequal would be nice, or something els fun, like an encyclopedia of the world descirbed in the trilogy.

Damn. I thought he could help we with my biology homework. :P

Are we talking about the character, or the admin? Cause if its the latter...and Nat's response?

If its the former, than we all agree with you. Except for the admin one.

Now I learned my lesson on how NOT to reply to spambots...

If Apollo was talking about Nat the admin (I don't think you were, were you?), then that implies that some people here want to get rid of the sanity in this world...

The character, of course, as that is what the thread is about.

Wow.
Yup, he's dirt-dead and needs to stay that way.

While I love Nathaniel with all my heart, I do think that bringing Nathaniel back to life would be really lame and would be done horribly.

Well, Stroud could probably pull it off and still make it amazing, but...

Anyways. While I always wish Nat were alive, if he had never died in the first place, I would be happy, but bringing him back now wouldn't work, I think.
