Asort-of end of the year update.
I normally don't do reviews, but I've just finished the latest season of Foundation, and really
enjoyed it. It does have a few names and themes from the Asimov books, but the producers
have taken those and run with it. They've also spent a lot of money, and the visuals show
that. I'm going to be interested to see where they finish up.
Also, just started Pluribus. Three episodes in, and again, keen to see where that's going.
I've just spent weeks -feels longer- reading through proofs. Always the part of the
publishing process | can live without, but it's got to be done. First off was The Helium Sea,
which was the galley proof, that is the layout that's going to be printed. This is the last
chance to correct anything, so it has to be a thorough read, not a skip-through. Thankfully
Del Rey has done a good job as usual, so there were very few typos, and not one continuity
error -that | could find. But given the size of the manuscript it took a while. Never mind, |
thought, once it's done | can go back to writing. Then just before | finished, Angry Robot
sent me the copy edit for volume 2 of the Arkship trilogy, The Captain's Daughter; that's the
stage before the galley proof. It still needs a fairly intense read through. Again there were
few mistakes, but it took time.
They're now both finished and returned to their respective publisher. To recap, The Helium
Sea will be coming out on June 16th, and The Captain's daughter June 9th next year. (And
no, | don't know when the Exodus game is being released. Maybe they'll announce it at the
Game Awards tomorrow)
So now, finally, I'm back writing Heavy Light again. This is a novel in an entirely new
universe. Itis very SF, but more thriller than space opera -I'm sure marketing will have their
own opinion on that. Given that I'm having four books published in 2026, it should be
coming out in 2027.
So have yourselves a grand Christmas and New Year, and I'll be back here in January.
The Science Fiction writer Peter F Hamilton (of the Nights Dawn trilogy, great fun) enjoyed the new series of Foundation as I did. Like Peter says they've taken the base text and 'run with it'
He also gives an update as to what he's been up to
