Asterope
Asterope asked Scott Oden:

I've seen The Lion of Cairo listed as #1 of a series (some mention a trilogy) on various websites/reviews online. Is that correct or is it written as and meant to be a stand-alone? Thanks!

Scott Oden Hi! It was meant to be the first in a trilogy, but sales were such that the publisher decided not to pursue it. And after such a resounding flop, I've not found it in me to continue the tale. It's a fairly self-contained story, but with a few dangling threads (including the lack of comeuppance for the primary villain).
