Tomek asked Glynn James:

Hey Glynn, I've been reading through Arisen, and if I may ask, why did you stop with the book ( (IIRC) of the series? So far I'm loving the series and will try both yours and Micheal's solo books once I'm done (which shouldn't be too hard, those babies read FAST!)

Glynn James Hi! I'm glad you're enjoying it. I poured a lot of my time over three years into the series! The answer is complicated, really, but to keep it simple, I wasn't finding the time to write the other series that I'd committed to before Arisen was created, and later in the Arisen series I wasn't keeping up with Michael, which was unfair. Also the series was getting longer than originally planned, and something (or someone) had to give, and that ended up being me. I'm not a military writer (though I picked up a lot during the process of co-writing the first eight Arisen books), and Michael is, so it seemed the best choice for us was for him to finish the series and for me to bow out and pick up on everything that I'd neglected.
I may do zombies again at some point, in an entirely new series, but I need to quench my thirst for scifi, horror and fantasy before I consider going back.

Where did you and Michael get your knowledge of the military? SF operations, weapons systems, aircraft, ships and small arms for the US, England and Russia- one or both of you guys are clearly experts on all of that and more. it's very impressive and adds a rich layer to your books that I haven't read anywhere else in the genre.

Eric Fennessey asked Glynn James:

The majority of the worlds described in the DotD series all seem to have approximately the same level of technology as early 21st century Earth; cars, shops, recognisably modern but not futuristic buildings is this deliberate? I.e. We haven't seen worlds that are in the equivalent of our distant past or distant future. Is this related to the fact that English is a 'common tongue'

Kathy Ann'tie asked Glynn James:

Hi Glynn, I am reading the Arisen series you and Michael have done an AMAZING job. This is the 2nd series that I have read from a military POV and I have to say that these seem to be the most realistic and plausible ZA books I have read so far and am loving this series more than any others. I am on book 7 and hating that I am quickly coming up on book 9. Is book 9 the end of the series, are there more books coming?
