1. Yes, but not in Book III (which you should be able to buy sometime in early 2015). That is part of the very long term story arc for this series with hints beginning to show up in Book IV or even Book V and developing into something very important down the road in Book VIII or so.
2. Yes. There is counterpoint story in Book III involving the adventures of the 16 year old Ensign Max Robichaux in which he encounters the Vaaach. This counterpoint story continues in Book IV and maybe further. I haven't decided yet. But, absolutely, you will get to see Max's history with the Vaaach which will really open a window into understanding who Max is and why he fights the way he fights.

Than you for taking the time to answer questions here. I was reading your answer to the question on the aliens and surprised that you have already planned what will come in Book VI. Could you please shed some light on the writing process? Do you have in your mind (or in paper) all the story arc and what goes into each book? Do you make changes based on how your writing develops/ readers' feedback?
