 Baen Books published a new triad between 1993 and 1995 subtitled "of a New Cycle".In 2002, Martin commented that he felt the triad was creatively "three of the strongest volumes "Wild Cards" ever had" and that the series "came back strong" after stumbling with a previous storyline; however, he conceded that the triad was "very dark", acknowledging it was a commonly voiced complaint, and that he felt switching publishers was a mistake.In 2000, ibooks Inc. purchased two new installments and the rights to reprint the first eight books of the series; the two new books were published between 2002 and 2006, including a solo novel by John J. Miller.
