It’s one of three ideas we offered to Caitlin, our agent, when she asked what we were writing next. We don’t know if there’s a market for non-Ean Lambert stories. It’s set at the end of Linesman, just after the New Alliance is created, but before they move to permanent headquarters on Haladea III. This is the story of a retired Balian covert ops team who get tangled up with space pirates, which drags them into the war between the New Alliance and Gate Union/Redmond. (Readers of this blog who remember us talking about Acquard, we’ve recently added the ‘ War’, because we now we want to do a second book, Acquard’s Revenge as well.) We planned books set in the same universe, but with different protagonists. Back then, we weren’t planning to write three books about Ean Lambert. While our agent was first trying to sell Linesman, and before we began Stars Uncharted, we wrote two other stories in the Linesman series. We got our contract to sign for the Linesman books around the same time we submitted the finished Linesman to our editor. We’ll give you more details once we have that paper.įact, for all the writers out there. Contracts take a long time, and can fall through. Even so, we feel a bit superstitious about even saying this until we get the paper in our hand. *Normally we wouldn’t even say we have the contract yet, but it has been announced in Publisher’s Lunch and in Locus, and we’ve been told we can mention it. It’s set in a totally different universe. (Less politics, for those of you who found there was too much politics in the Linesman books.) It’s a space opera adventure with a bit of fun, characters we both love, and lots of things happening.

But it was the first story we went back to when we were done with Confluence. We stopped about a quarter of the way in, to rewrite Linesman. Back when we thought Linesman wasn’t going to sell and we’d have to start something completely fresh. It’s actually the book we started writing while Linesman was doing the rounds. This is the book we are contracted* to write next. We’ve kept the post entire, rather than edit it and what we say about the Linesman books are still valid, but both the Stars Uncharted books are published now. This post was written after we had finished the Linesman books, and while we were writing Stars Uncharted. What we need now is a better idea of the aliens. More than most, because we have backstory we don’t normally have. This is about as much of we know of any story plot before we start writing.

We haven’t started writing this series at all.

Along with their ideas on how the lines should be treated.Īnd those ideas don’t necessarily match with those of Ean’s or of the ships under his line twelve custodianship. There’s a new ship being integrated into the Eleven fleet, because Abram wants the new ship, and the Wendell, to go alien hunting.īut before they can do that, the aliens bring their war to human territory. The lines ships are starting to get personalities. Captain Terrigal is ship captain, trying to believe that his mentor, Admiral Katida, hasn’t betrayed him, while struggling with the knowledge that his ship doesn’t automatically do what he says first. I don’t want to give away spoilers, but … The New Alliance is settling into the changes that resulted from the end of that book. We have another trilogy planned with Ean Lambert as the main character. Everything is subject to change, and, also, to contracts, because if we don’t get contracts for the books then we can’t sell them. A lot of people have asked when the next Linesman book is coming, and what it will be about.
