If you haven’t read Psi Wars…

I just re-read Psi Wars Book 2: Conflagration to do some research for my latest Drop Trooper book and felt a deep frustration.
It’s hard to say this without sounding egotistical, but I feel like the writing in Conflagration is the best I’ve ever done, the characters really fleshed out, and it’s a little frustrating that the series hasn’t attracted more readers.
I know that’s partly my fault because book 1, Homecoming, is a little slower and involves characters who aren’t as popular as the ones in Conflagration. Homecoming mostly deals with Sandi, Ash and Korri from the Acheron series, whereas Conflagration is much more involved with Caleb Mitchell, Deke Conner, and Kara McIntire from the Birthright series as well as Randall Munroe from the Recon series, both of which were more popular.
If I had to do it over again, I would have tried to include more of those characters in book one, but I think it was the right decision story-wise.
Perhaps the other thing that hurt sales for this series was that you had to have read the Birthright, Recon and Acheron series to understand it–sort of an Avengers deal where you needed to watch the other movies first.
Still, if you have read those other series and like Caleb, Munroe and the other characters, you really need to read Psi War. It’s an epic tale and you’re going to need to read it to know what’s going on in the next couple Drop Trooper novels…
