I spent my long weekend (I had an extra day off) going through my mountain of notes and prepping what needs to happen next in Book III. Before I had to switch gears and work on a gargantuan task for about a month, the first chapter was essentially done. However, I’ve already expanded on it and gotten into the first part of the second chapter.
Obviously, I am not going to spoil any plot details here. However, for those who have been with the series, thus far, this is the book where Dan really steps the fuck up and becomes the man he was always meant to be. That’s all I’ll say about that and frankly, his story isn’t the only one with some major developments in it.
The book picks up right where Atomic Beasts and Where to Kill Them left off, as shit has really hit the fan and many things need to be addressed immediately, due to where each major plot thread was left.
This is also going to be the most ambitious book as far as the climax and what will happen, setting up the next big chapter in the larger story.
Now having said that, the numbered books, which I see as the main saga, are probably going to come to an end with Book V. Granted, that is just the end of this phase of the larger story and I do plan to have other short story collections and some interesting character specific one-shots as well. There’s another surprise I am working on in addition to this stuff but more on that when I can talk about it.
That’s it! I’ve got to get back to work.
