That was fast.
Graphic:
Book Nine comes right after the events of Book Eight and deals with the creation of the first (failed) uniting of the colonies, as well as the establishment of the inter-colonial courts on the neutral world, Libran. Because that planet has no culture of its own, no "natives," etc., it was a fairly short jaunt (47 pages, for those keeping count), but I got to do a little bit more politics without dwelling on it, and I created a pretty terrifying jungle creature.
Book Ten: Scorpia also follows, narratively, right after the events of the previous book. This wasn't really planned, but that's where the writing took me. The nascent League of Colonies is fractured and withers because Leonis won't stop its stranglehold on its vassal, Scorpia. This book will see Scorpia freed and that agrarian world struggle as it tries to become more technologically advanced so it can trade with the other worlds. (Yes, expect to see the start of the famed orbital shipyards as well as another surprise.)
Thanks for reading.
