The audiobook version of DFV Ethereal (Book 6) is now available for pre-order on Audible.com.  The release date (when the book will be available for download) is set for March 9th.

Based on reader feedback, The Last Flamecaller, has been retitled as DFV Ethereal. In addition to the new name, the book now sports a new cover and has been incorporated into the Terran Fleet Command Saga.

The original cover of The Last Flamecaller (although most people seemed to like it from an artistic standpoint), clearly missed the mark. Many readers saw the horses and understandably believed I had written a “fantasy western” story – well outside the wheelhouse of most TFC fans. The good news is that those who read the book were quick to point out that it belonged in the original series, picking up the story shortly after the events in TFS Guardian.

In spite of the updated title, cover, and incorporation into the TFC series, however, I hope you will enjoy DFV Ethereal precisely because it is a little different from the first five books. The pre-industrial world on which this episode takes place lends an element of fantasy to the story (including a map and hints of the relatively new LitRPG genre). And the application of technology from Earth’s not-too-distant past makes Didara 4 feel a little like stepping back in time.

Hope you enjoy it!

Dryden Beck awakens and discovers that he has been forever changed — modified against his will to serve as the most powerful weapon in the arsenal of a ruthless puppet master bent on the total domination of his world. . .

I'm finally back to writing full-time and making good progress on the next book (number 6, can you believe it?). This one is a bit of a departure from the original series, but still set in the same universe with at least a couple of returning characters. The working title of the new novel is "Dryden:  Flamecaller." Although it's still science fiction (and features some of the same tech from the original series), the new story line has elements that cross over into the fantasy and even a bit into the LitRPG genres.

I don't want to give too much away just yet, but the new novel explores what happens when remnants of the Pelaran AI take an entirely new approach to their cultivation program -- this time on a pre-industrial world.  I've always been fascinated by the idea of anachronistic technology and its disruptive effects. And, as luck would have it, the Pelaran AI's cultivation program provides us with limitless opportunities for precisely those kinds of stories. So I hope you'll come along for the journey!
