I just heard today that Mondadori (Italian Publisher of Imperial Spy as La Spia di Shandar) have taken up their option and bought Imperial Assassin. They will be publishing it in Spring 2008. This is great news, as it's a good indicator that La Spia di Shandar is doing well in Italy. After the magnificent cover they did for Imperial Spy, I'm looking forward very much to seeing what they do with Imperial Assassin. Let's hope its success will trigger further deals in the future.
