Can't wait, read both of them in about a day and a half, and then immediately regretted reading them too quickly. Is it longer than the 2nd?

So, this system here is crazy...you wrote this 2 years ago, but I am just now seeing it. Sorry!
See new post that I will be writing today! on OOA:ITN
Book 4 pretty much maxed out what I can do in a single book. The problem is the size of the Paperback. 1) It can't be over 850 pages total and 2) after about 600 pages the price gets too high to justify, particular for traditional bookstores outside the US (as it is, I make about 25 cents on a book sold in a traditional bookstore in Europe, if it gets any longer the price really has to go up because the system won't let me sell at a loss)
So, that is one reason OOA:ITN was split off from the main story line. It is the quest for the Doom of Antilles, just like the other shamans' quests, but because it is Science Fiction (mostly) and because there is so much that has to be explained, and because it is on a longer time scale (space travel is slow) I spun that off separately outside the main story

Any news on when we might see the continuation of DoA? I find myself in desperate need to know what's going to happen next. Love your series and the characters you have populating it, well written and love the tongue in cheek aspects that are interspersed throughout.
