Sequel in the works

Work continues on the sequel to 'Here There Be Monsters'. The working title is: 'Not All Who Wander' and it continues the misadventures of Admiral Martinez and his intrepid fleet of misfits.

Synopsis: While Sam searches unknown space for allies to join the newly formed Federation, the crap is generally hitting the fan.

Scrappers and the Ord are eating away at Union space, driving them to recklessly scoop up species to fight as warrior slaves in their battle for survival. Meanwhile the craw uprising creates logistics issues too damaging to ignore.

Back on earth, Innsbrook Marshfield is building political power and driving an agenda that could place the future of the Federation and Sam's command in jeopardy.

Unknown to all, the mysterious Custodian has a plan to steer Sam toward his own ends... a plan that goes horribly wrong.

As the stakes increase, can the crew of the Schwarzenegger fleet pull off a victory against impossible odds?

The rough outline is starting to take shape and of course, it wouldn't be a proper sequel without higher stakes, an airlock full of scifi references and enough jokes to give even an Ord a good chuckle.

I expect to publish sometime in late spring 2024 and look forward to sharing it with all of you who enjoyed the first book so much.
