Several people have asked me what I'm working on next now that Death Game is turned in, or have pointed out that I've cagily referred to Death Game as "my first Stargate Atlantis novel." I'm very happy to confirm that I am indeed working on another SGA novel, this one with an absolute writing idol turned dear friend, Melissa Scott. It's the first book in a new series, and I'm thrilled to be able to work on it with such talented writers, and to continue my journey with these characters I love.
Stargate Atlantis: Legacy is an exciting new book series from Fandemonium Books coming in 2010. As the fantastically successful New Jedi Order series did for Star Wars, Legacy takes Stargate Atlantis fans on to uncharted new ground, exploring what happens next after the end of season five. With no reset to zero, the jeopardy for our favorite characters has never been greater as they face entirely new challenges and dangers, as well as old foes revitalized. Sheppard, McKay, Teyla, Ronon and the rest must face Wraith, Genii, and their most dangerous foes yet in a galaxy-spanning adventure to uncover the true legacy of the Ancients -- a battle from which all may not return.
Book One, The Return, by Melissa Scott and Jo Graham, will be out in September, 2010. Melissa Scott is the author of more than twenty science fiction and fantasy books, including Trouble and Her Friends, Five Twelfths of Heaven, and, with Lisa A. Barnett, Point of Hopes and Point of Dreams. She has won numerous awards, including the Campbell Award in 1986. Jo Graham is the author of three historical fantasy novels, as well as the Stargate Atlantis novel Death Game. Book Two, The Missing, by Jo Graham and Amy Griswold, will follow in January, 2011.
Also, Black Ships is out in paperback today, so if you've been curious but haven't read it yet, now's the time. Check it out on Amazon
