So it's May 2016, and I just can't get into any book I have tried to read without obsessively checking here or Amazon for news of the new book, looking for a hint at a pre-order... anything!! I have gone through about 14 books since the first, making it about 5-30 pages in before I just get frustrated that it's not Ryks book... I have to admit I have a problem, but it's one I enjoy so much!! So i thought it would be nice to start this thread that collects all the hints and snippets from other threads where Ryk has mentioned something, (and Ryk take your time, we will wait for when you're ready, my addiction to your books is my cross to bare!! 🙂 ) So what we know, and correct me if i got it wrong or let me know if i missed something:
1: Name is Escalation
2: Due out late May 2016- ish
3: Time from last book in story time is about a year or so
4: It will rock...
anything else?
Time from Ep15 - Ep16 is actually closer to 2-5 years, as per Ryk in one of the other threads.
Cloaking devices (either for Stealth or Fashion) will not be introduced in this book.
Also suffering the withdrawals... but mostly because I have been cold turkeying this story. Not read it since I reread ep15... which means that I'm simi lost in whats happening.
Does Cosmo (Vlad's Kitten) get a mention in Ep16? my guess is no... I recon that there may have been a foster care arrangement set up... It would be dangerous to have a live kitten in space - no one wants those kitten claws near the spacesuits!!!
I hear rumors that a reveal trailer for Part 2 Episode 1 will be released today... Maybe you can find it on the homepage?
GLENDANON (O'Connel Class MK?)
Looks like a Converter BOX Hauler, not a warship, possible a good substitute to the moveable space based ground support ship.
@Admin is Support Concept art on the way?
I'm not a hundred percent sure, but wasn't the Glendanon the Corinaran transport equipped with a jump drive? The transport that was shuttling supplies from the Pentaraus Cluster to Sol and returning with propellant from Tanna?
You Might be right in deed.
Yeah Trailer!! Yep I think the Glendannon was the supply ship loos like things may have changed!! Thanks for the Corrections For Islands!!
Yeah, pretty sure it was the Glendanon that made the runs.
With Boxcars on the cover, and what looks like a Falcon in the bottom-right corner...
Rogue Castes? The castes are part of the Jung's cultural system, not the Pentaurus'... So the book is about Jung's rogue castes that decide to attack at least the Glendanon; probably in the Core, instead of PC, because presumably they don't have the jump drive (yet). Which also implies that the Glendanon comes back, but for what reason?
I am not sure if it will be better once the pre-order is up on amazon or worse... 🙂
Last time it was worse for me, because I went from checking the site daily to 4 times daily at work alone, and amazon as often... and to round it out I was going into the previous book on my kindle app and seeing if i could download next in series...
It wasn't quite 10 days... but it felt like a month... (an argument could be made for 2)
Yeah, I've been checking both here and Amazon multiple times a day. At least for the pre-order.
I am Guilty of this also.
ME TOO
I have gotten into the habit of forcing myself to wait till I get into work before checking... and then its like three times a day at least, trying multiple search word strings on Amazon just in case its a little tweaked... I think this is worse than the other episodes because this time I know within the first few pages my one big concern will be dealt with and I am dying to know... Nathan...
I am at least trying to only check once a day. Still not up on Amazon for pre-order.......
