Dunstan in particular gets far more to do this time around, and the characters are now crossing paths in more ways than one. It’s a touch longer than the opening volume, and with a more balanced spread of character viewpoints. The second part of Kloos’ far-future military saga continues the interlinked stories of Aden, Idina, Solveig and Dunstan as they adjust to life in a post-war solar system. But not everyone is so keen to let sleeping dogs lie, and the threat of renewed conflict is always on the horizon. Proceed at your peril-Īden is trying to put his life back together after the war, and has finally found a way to leave his past behind. I hope you’ll enjoy what’s coming in the next year.– spoilers for Aftershocks.

The novella I am currently writing has been a great way to get my head back into the Frontlines universe after spending a year and a half with the characters in the Palladium Wars system. In the meantime, I am writing on a Frontlines novella to be released in a few weeks, and there will be at least one more Frontlines story out on the Kindle after that before the next novel comes out. And for those of you who kept asking on Twitter and via email: there will be another Frontlines novel, I will be writing it between now and the end of the year, and it will be out next year as well. I am about to turn in the second novel, called BALLISTIC, which is scheduled to be released in June of next year. I get royalties from the pre-sales, so I’ll be able to write more books, and you get to keep the Kindle book even if you maxed out your Prime Reading borrowing library because you own it for good.)

(If you are a Prime member and you pre-ordered the Kindle version already, don’t get too upset about not getting to read it for free like those late-to-the-party Prime Reading bandwagon jumpers.

And if you are a Prime member in the US, the Kindle version is available to you free to read for the month of July as part of the Prime Reading program. It’s available on Amazon in Kindle, Audible, trade paperback, and hardcover forms. AFTERSHOCKS, the first book in my new SF series called “The Palladium Wars”, is out today!
