Elder Scrolls Novel Blurb Seems to Confirm Oblivion Sequel

Considering how well The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion sold, it's pretty likely Bethesda will make a new game in the series eventually. But according to a blurb describing author Greg Keyes' "The Infernal City: An Elder Scrolls Novel," the prospects for a sequel have become a lot more likely (via Kotaku).
The Waterstone's retail site's listing for the novel originally had a blurb that described its story as "[taking place] forty-five years after the Oblivion Crisis, which is the story of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion game and the expansion pack Shivering Isles. It partly bridges the gap for the next game, which is set 200 years after the Oblivion crisis."

Next game, huh? Set 200 years after Oblivion, eh? It sure seems to confirm a sequel, but you probably won't be surprised to learn that this portion of the blurb seemingly confirming The Elder Scrolls V has since been removed from the retail listing. So don't necessarily take this as a confirmation, but if the blurb was indeed accurate, it looks like Bethesda is already setting the pieces for a sequel in place.

I've always been curious as to what will happen to the lands of Tamriel sine there was no successor to the Septim bloodline after Martin sacrificed himself.

Would this like be the first game without any form of Uriel?
