2017 Update

Sorry for being so late with this, but here's the deal: in an attempt to get the Zone/Atrophy stuff going in the real world, a couple years ago I adapted them into newer, much better books and gave them to Roc, the imprint of Penguin Random House that publishes my science fiction. This winter, Roc replied saying they were going to pass on it because Admiral wasn't a bestseller.

That leaves me in an awkward situation, because though I know the number of people who actually care about Zone/Atrophy stuff is pretty small, I don't like to leave a story unfinished.

The original serials and books aren't up to the level of quality that I'm comfortable with right now, so I don't want to re-release them. However, I do have the new books, which are solid. One way or another, I'm going to release them. I just have to figure out how.

It's not the first time I've had to apologize for you guys for the wait, and it probably won't be the last. I'm not making excuses; this is taking ages, and I'm sorry. I'm still on it.

Twitter, website, books, and newer books.
