Is it possible that you could write about what happens in the travelers lives when they get a second chance to live them without interferance from saint dane or press tilton, specifically elli and nevva winter?

I'm not so sure that would make for particularly interesting reading. Essentially they all led productive lives, but not necessarily lives that rise to the level of novel-worthy. Look at Bobby's life. I pretty much summed that up in one chapter. So I suppose I could write a book that contained them all, but that would require the reader to have read the ten previous books, and that's a tall order! So I guess my answer is: I don't think so.

Did Bobby ever date or have a relationship during the battle or particularly the whole time he spent on Ibara? Did he have any secret relationships he didn’t write about, but was implied? Also why did he bury the flume when he knew giving up was exactly what Dane wanted? I appreciate you answering my questions. I know this one might be a tough one, but just curious.

I don’t think I have found the answer to that particularly but why did you chose “Halla”, was it Viking related ? Also, as it is “Allah” in reverse which is God in Arabic, to me I’ve always seen it as something related to some kind of spirituality. As if the goal was to preserve a certain way of life, a belief, to get to a sort of heaven…I may be totally wrong though haha

I'm a huge fan of all your series' particularly Pendragon (and now SYLO). I notice that you use a lot of actual theories from astronomy and physics in your books, such as dark matter in Pendragon and wormholes (or really an Einstein bridge) in SYLO. Since I myself am an astrophysicist, I am wondering what your background in these subjects are and what your motivation for using these theories in your books are? Thanks!
