To celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the TV series Caprica, on Monday, June 9, I'll be publishing this:
I'll be clear right up front: this isn't a new* book. If you've read Colonies of Kobol (Special Edition, preferably), you've already read this. This is what was originally published as Book Thirteen in Volume Three.
"So why publish it separately?" Well, to ensnare new readers. Colonies of Kobol is huge so many people didn't give it a chance. Or maybe they just weren't interested in some guy's unofficial made-up history to a twenty-year-old TV show. (I don't take it personally.) If, however, it were more inextricably tied to a TV show ... like Caprica ... maybe people would give it a shot. And, if they liked it, maybe they'll back up and read Lords of Kobol or Colonies of Kobol.
Plus, I see people posting all the time about Caprica, so this might scratch that itch for many.
There's more news coming on June 9, but I'll save it for later. Thanks for reading.
* - There is one part of Caprica that is new, but I'll post it on the blog for everyone to see when we get closer to the date.
