Personally, I'm really disappointed with what they did to the Realms by advancing the timeline and destroying most of the world with the Spellplague. This new trilogy is suppose to explain these changes and how it has affected the Realms (which is why it is called the Transistion) and we might also see a change in Drizzt's character.
Artemis is confirmed to be immortal because of the Shard of Shadow (IIRC, didn't read the novels but it was confirmed on the D&D boards/forums) so maybe we can see another moral showdown somewhere along the line.
AFAIK, in the Pirate King, Drizzt is off to Luskan where he would probably meet the Pirate Lords and the wizards of the Arcane Tower.
None of these books can be found in east Malaysia so far I've looked (except for a hardcover Orc King which was too expensive to buy) but I'm not so sure if I really want to follow this trilogy. I'm almost done with the Realms and not that much interested with it's future.
Btw, there is another book in between Halfling's Gem and Streams of Silver that was written by Salvatore's son, Geno, 'The Stowaway' (IIRC). It's a different hero but Drizzt makes a cameo appearance in there.
Also, there's already an official Drizzt magic card revealed by Wizards early this month.
