It is currently planned for a mid-2016 release, following the Tor re-releases of the first four books.{{cite|during Firefight tour...}}
 
==Behind the Scenes==
Brandon has completed the writing, but it needs revising and will potentially be published after the rest of the series has been re-released by Tor, in summer 2016.{{bws ref|state-of-the-sanderson-december-2014|State of the Sanderson: December 2014|date=2014-12-18}}
Brandon always planned for the Alcatraz series to consist of five books, however Scholastic, the original publisher, only bought the first four. For a variety of reasons, including Scholastic being unwilling to make a contract for the fifth book, Brandon bought back the rights in early 2013.{{bws ref|state-of-the-sanderson|State of the Sanderson|date=2013-07-24}} He later re-sold the series, including book 5, to Tor.{{cite}}
