Let alone the universe of Sol and Beyond. And yes, it’s a very personal question. Maybe. Or hell, let’s just wing this.</p> <p>When I originally began Derelict, it was meant to be a little monster story, maybe 80k, with just a bit of setup and then a crazy terror filled thrill ride for the marines. That was the plan. I thought I’d have that sucker done in 2 months at most and have it out there in the world. A one-off book to pay the bills and satisfy fans of The Black while I worked on Signal Decay and the 4th Black book.</p>
