Writing Up a Storm

Just finished Alien Hunter 3: the White House. It will come out next summer. My editor at Tor/Forge, Bob Gleason, told me he thought it was the best thriller I've ever written. I hope that's true, and as Bob doesn't do a lot of praising, at least I know it's good.

It takes my character, Flynn Carroll into a conspiracy in the White House that turns into a chess game with the denizens of Aeon. This is the planet where the criminals came from in Alien Hunter 1 and 2.

But things have changed on Aeon. There was a revolution, and now the ones who were viewed as criminals are in control of the planet--and they want more.

This is not a typical 'alien invasion' story. It concerns a chess game between Flynn and what is no longer a small group of criminals, but a massive conspiracy with state support. Worse, they are in possession of breathtakingly advanced technology. (Some of which is real, and which we have. But I'll leave you to play with that one!)

How do you take an entire planet, but get rid of its population without destroying it? The aliens have a solution. Flynn has to stop them.

Dodie Reed Sounds great, I'm anxious to see it in print. I'm sure it's a bang up story.

Notepad Sounds awesome. Will definitely be reading it.

If you're reading this Whitley i want to suggest taking Flynn Carrol to the planet Aeon in a future book ;) I really want to see that happen. I'm thinking of the Abbadon chapter in '2012', once of the most haunting things i've read.

Dodie Reed Sounds really good. I'll be waiting for it to come out. I keep watching for anything by you. They are always good stories.
