Does anyone know the status of the next Novel in this series that David and Jane are writing?

There are none in progress or contracted last time David answered a question about this.

I might be wrong, but I believe I heard that the first 3 didn't sell as well as hoped, so the contract wasn't extended for more at this time.

At Bubonicon last month, Jane Lindskold said there weren't any more Stephanie Harrington novels under contract at this time. She's currently working on her Artimis series.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if it didn't sell well. What's selling in the YA ghetto these days is dystopias - think Hunger Games - not the kind of hard science fiction that Heinlein might have written in his juveniles.

Stephanie Harrington as an adult might have sold a good deal better, because it wouldn't have been isolated in the YA ghetto.

At least Hunger Games is marginally better than the Twilight crap.

I'm 68 and I thought the Stephanie Harrington stories were a real good read!

Though being able to make a house of solid gold bars would be kind of neat.

This really saddens me. I was wondering why after 3 in a row, there was no announcement of a new book. Other than the fact I'm an Honorverse junkie, and want to read EVERYTHING, I'm really enjoying the dual-perspective of Climbs Quickly and Stephanie. Other than two short stories, we haven't read anything at all from Nimitz' point of view, and I find that really, truly fascinating.

A series from Nimitz point of view would be great as well as humorous....

I read a book many years ago that was told the story about the war from the point of view of a horse. Not just any horse but Gen. Robert E. Lee's horse.

David should seriously think about about telling a story from Nimitz's point of view. Great idea....

Pity. I rather liked them.

As i said when the first book came out, it´s stupid to do exclusive categorising.
