Old faces and new

In the upcoming novel The Milk Run, we will meet some new characters (or creatures) plus touch base with a lot of characters (and computers) from the past few novels, especially Rome's Revolution:

New Faces:
- Aason Bierak: 21-year-old son of Rome and Rei. We met him as a baby and later as a little boy but not as an adult.
- Lupe Bierak: 16-year-old daughter of Rome and Rei. She was conceived at the end of Rome's Evolution and Rome told us she was going to be a brat but that's all we know.
- Junior: MINIMCOM's son. He is all grown up now, a super-fast starship in his own right and Aason's cousin and best friend.
- Aroline: a really sweet girl, about a year older than Aason, blonde hair, a native of Hades, who has a vested interest in seeing Aason succeed in his mission.
- Donald: Aroline's father. We never do find out his last name.
- Sh'ev B'oush: I've introduced you to Sh'ev before. He is a member of the K'val which are intelligent, ambulatory plants.
- Oush B'trev: Sh'ev's father who has entered into the third stage of the K'val's existence which is essentially an intelligent tree.
- Molokai: his real name is unpronounceable. He is made only of light and is actually the composite of a billion souls that have moved on.
- HIRDINDALAFANT, a Stareater and HIRDINHARSAWAY's son.
- FORMPACKWILAR, another young Stareater.
- Starship OMCOM: Enough said.

Old faces:
- Rome and Rei play an important role both with the story and especially during the Epilogue.
- OMCOM is back. We finally find out what he's been doing out there all these years.
- MINIMCOM makes a guest appearance but does not have a significant role in the story other than as a loving father.
- Commander Ursay. After "Rome's Revolution" has transformed the Earth, he has become essentially the President of the planet.
- MASAL. Yep, he's back. And you thought he was dead. Well, he is.
- Reema, Sussen and Estar also make a guest appearance.
- Skodla, Rome's cat. Due to the fact that I had to crush down three novels into one, Skodla got edited out. Well, I bring him back for one tiny, tender moment.
- Jack Henry. Yes, that Jack Henry. He plays a significant role in Aason achieving his goals.

Is that enough of a teaser? I'm hoping you get to read the whole thing in just a matter of a few weeks.
