Hi John,
Thank you for your message.
Every reader has their own opinion and it is very important for us to know everyone's opinion. From the first volume, the series begins its own life and changes in the process.
Work on the continuation is underway, we are waiting impatiently, but it is difficult to say about the timing yet.
Sincerely,
Arthur.

(view spoiler)[Hello Arthur,
First of all I would like to truly thank you for series Respawn, until today it is one of the my favorite books series.
I understand that the Last Crossing, book 6, is the last one of the series, in that case I have to ask.. do you mind in saying what was your idea of where they were and what was the "the question"?
I really loved the book and wish to hear from you. (hide spoiler)]

Hello Fabio,
thank you for your question. It is very interesting, multi-layered and the answer to it is also not unambiguous. A book, and especially a series, after its release begins to live its own life and changes over time. Our heroes were in a game that turns into life or vice versa - life that turns into a game. And the questions are eternal, about faith, about love, about life... Everyone will be able to find their own way with this and everyone will be right in their own way.
I am very glad that you liked it.
With respect,
Arthur Stone.

Hi John,
Thanks for your question.
We understand and share your impatience for the continuation of the Food and Alpha series.
You ask for specifics whether there will be a continuation - there will be, when exactly it will be, I won’t say here. Writing a book is a creative process and it is impossible to speed it up. You yourself will scold us if there is nonsense...
So let's be patient and wait).
All best,
Arthur Stone.

Of course I know, Alpha 7 came out on August 3 2023.
At the moment Alpha 8 is in the works, it's going hard, I really hope to get some information at the end of June.
We ourselves are waiting with great impatience.

Hi Innes Leage,
Thank you for writing, we also love these series very much, especially S.T.Y.X. and continuations of these series have been written, but, unfortunately, for a number of reasons, we cannot publish in English in the proper quality. As soon as the opportunity arises, we will do it immediately.
So far, we have two series of Food and Alpha in our work.

two months is not a long time. Usually the translation of a text of 90-100 k words takes 3 months. Then editing. So let's wait.

Hi James,
thanks for your post. As for Ged, his development is constantly and steadily in the process of the entire history. We will be able to see the specific stat numbers with improvements in the 5th part, but I hope that it will be so. The 5th part is under construction, in 2 months we will have more complete information about the release dates.
