Hi Vinod,

Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed the Safanarion Order. I did write down a few ideas for a prequel as well as ideas for continuing the series. So writing a prequel is definitely a thought I’ve considered, but at this point I’m not sure when I will fit it in. I’m about to begin writing the 3rd book in a new series that will be out by July. After that I return to Safanar, which I’m really looking forward to.

Thanks again for reading the series and for reaching out to me.

"Excellent

Best story in a long time and can not wait for the next one. Great characters, you can see all the action "
Genesis by Ken Lozito
"Nicely done military-team sci fi

I'm an avid long-term fan of the Silver Ships series. This is the first series I've found that promises to capture many of the same elements that I value in that series. I'm looking forward to reading more." Read more of this review »

“Some people’s desire to bury their heads in the sand could never be underestimated.”
Ken Lozito, Infinity's Edge

“Always remember that fate uses us to its own ends, but it will never take away our right to decide. Choose wisely, and choose quickly. Death comes swiftly to those who tarry in the middle of the road.”
Ken Lozito, Road to Shandara

“The man was territorial and took everything personally—not the best traits in a commander. “Well then, I wish”
Ken Lozito, Genesis
