The Voided Man, Book 4
Greetings, all.
Book 4 in the Voided Man series - Navigating Yesterday - comes out on Sunday.
If you are someone who has read the others, you'll get new backstory on the Last King of the West, and how the Realm originated, and more on Jack and Laura's unusual romance and what happens with Alexis as she grows up during the years that Banner is adrift in the Valkyrie-98.
If you are new to my fiction, this is actually a good book to use to start the Voided Man series. You'll catch more of the references if you've read the other books, but you won't be unable to enjoy Navigating Yesterday if you haven't.
The question I explore in the new book is this: in the aftermath of an apocalypse, what does it look like when pockets of civilization start to return and stabilize? I've spent a lot of time thinking about how technology and commerce and governance might work in that scenario, and also about the threats that might arise from places where civilization has not returned.
The Potato isn't finished as a setting by any means, but Number One and the others will be spending a lot of time on Earth in the forthcoming books in the series, and so Navigating Yesterday reveals what things are like in 30th Century America.
Also in the mix are two good love stories, one old and one brand new. Two new villains – Chancellor Bain and Lord Jeffrey – arise as well and cause trouble. And Bucky is back. Everybody loves that horse, including me.
Half of my advance readers rated Navigating Yesterday as their favorite book in the series so far. Small sample size, true, but encouraging nonetheless.
For my fantasy fans, the conclusion of the Clock and the Candles trilogy will be out December 1, and it's all hands on deck for the conspirators as they make a real run at ousting Adolphus from power. There's much more on the elves in book 3 as well.
And I call it a trilogy, but I'm sure that the Lands and the Clock and the characters who survive book 3 will be back. I just haven't decided whether their series will run straight ahead like the Voided Man, or whether I'll end up breaking their adventures into discrete trilogies. That could go either way.
Last note for now: I'll release one more Voided Man book before the end of the year. Book 5, The Valkyrie-200, will be out on December 15.
Thank you for taking an interest in my writing.
