***NEWS RELEASE***
December 10, 1994
1). The new Continuing Time novel is called "Players: The AI War." It's set
in 2080 and follows Trent the Uncatchable almost exclusively; he's in
90+% of the novel's scenes. It's nearly completed and will be delivered
to Bantam shortly.
2. The following novel, according to current plans, will be "Crystal
Wind." "Crystal Wind" is the novel that was originally called "Players:
Revolution."
The novel *after* that is the novel I told a bunch of people would be
following "The Last Dancer." This is "Lord November: The Man-Spacething
War." LN:TMSW is set in approximately 2680, six hundred years after the
Trent/Denice stories. It's a very big novel novel, and the first
Continuing Time novel that's really *set* out in the Continuing Time.
Its principal characters are Tyrel November, one of Denice
Castanaveras' descendants, and Bodhisatva, a Pinkerton Agent who also
happens to be a Trentist, a member of the Exodus Church, aka "The
Church of His Return."
This novel was 70 or 80% done when Bantam, due to their success with
"Last Dancer," requested that I do the sequels to TLD next, rather than
Lord November. This suited me...
3. In my last news release, about two years ago, I told people that there
would be two more Trent novels; there won't be. I'm killing him in
"Players: The AI War," for a lot of good reasons - his death is, well,
interesting. Even Trent fans should not be much outraged by it, I
hope.
4. Bantam has promised to republish "Emerald Eyes" and "The Long Run"
along with "Players: The AI War." ("The Last Dancer" is still in print,
and doing quite well.)
5. For a while I was selling copies of "The Long Run" screenplay. I've
pretty much ceased doing that; but I am making copies of the screenplay
available online. Several people have volunteered to handle this; I'll
let you know what's happening with it as soon as I have more info.
6. Several different groups were negotiating, at one point, with Bantam
over adaptation rights to "The Long Run." Nothing ever came of any of
it; people at R. Talsorian Games, for example, told me that Bantam
never returned their calls, which I find believable.
7. After I turn in "Players: The AI War," I will no longer be under
contract to Bantam. With my new contract I thoroughly expect to make
enough money to do this for a living which should speed things up a
lot.
