Then, I went on to write seven more- the last being I, Neil! Part of what made me go deeper into the Deadland was the passion and enthusiasm of readers. So while I have not gone back to the Deadland after I, Neil, several readers have asked me the same question you have. While I don't have a concrete idea in mind right now, I suspect I will be lured back to the Deadland for one more adventure- provided there are readers willing to join me or another nighttime raid, another skirmish and another battle against the odds.

Quotes by Mainak Dhar  (?)

“You take anything you fear and cannot understand and make it an object of hate. So much easier to hate and destroy than to seek to understand.”
Mainak Dhar, Alice in Deadland

“I fight for the freedom that we all have as human beings. The freedom to live the way we want,the freedom to choose our leaders,the freedom my father and hundreds of others have died to protect.”
Mainak Dhar, Alice in Deadland

“Now, sitting among the Biters and getting a glimpse of what battle against humans looked like from their perspective, she began to see things a bit differently. Sure, up close they were formidable with their strength, seeming immunity to pain, and their single-minded dedication to biting human flesh. But in the open like this, against trained soldiers, they were cannon fodder. They could not use weapons, moved slower than humans, and did not seem to have enough intelligence for anything more than the most rudimentary tactics.”
Mainak Dhar, Alice in Deadland
