I’ve already posted a warning that Adversary (Hive Mind 5) is running horrendously late, and said that I’d be trying to release Sol 2781, a short story set in the Portal Future, for Christmas.

Regular readers will know that I have virtually no control over my characters, so won’t be surprised to hear that Sol 2781 is turning out to be a novella rather than a short story. However, the first chapter of that novella does work reasonably well as a short story.

The current plan is therefore to post the first chapter of Sol 2781 on my website on Christmas Day. Sol 2781 is the sequel story to Hera 2781, so you may want to read/reread Hera 2781 first.

Sol 2781 is set eight years before the Earth Girl trilogy. It features Drago Tell Dramis as a newly qualified fighter pilot who still has a lot to learn about many things, especially his own relatives. The story starts directly after the events in Hera 2781.

I’m hoping to publish the full novella of Sol 2781 around the end of January, but these days the entire world is subject to change without notice. I definitely want to publish Sol 2781 before the planned second Earth Girl Aftermath Collection since it clarifies the background history for some of those stories.
