Upcoming releases

With Part I now wrapped and Part II tentatively due in June, I've been thinking about the books that Mr. Brown has mentioned that he would release in the meantime. Namely the novel version of the Netcasts and the older novel he had written, but retooled to fit into the Saga. With the Netcasts, I'm curious whether it'll include the chapters we've already seen or whether it will start where Netcast One ended. But, I'm more curious about the retooled novel and where it will fit in the continuity of the Saga. Will it be closer to the Netcasts time period, the time period of the Aurora, or somewhere in between? Aside from a few off hand mentions here in the forums from Mr. Brown there hasn't been a single detail about it. Thoughts?
