What happens after the Nephilim War? Is the Confederation safe at last?
No, that would be too easy. Tensions along the frontier between the humans and the Kilrathi are rising once again, and a growing insurgency is pushing the erstwhile allies back towards war; some would say that is how it is meant to be, for we all know 'the Kilrathi do not co-exist'.
Here is the beginning of my new fan project, the next novel in the Wing Commander series. Set thirty-three years after the destruction of Kilrah, the Nephilim War has just ended but peace is as far away as ever.
Initial progress has been rapid, leading me to expect that with enough community support I can have this done within a year. While it is not a long-awaited game, the shorter gestation period means that this could provide a little bit of Wing Commander sustenance while we all wait for the likes of Saga to arrrive. And, if you are like me, the books are almost as important a feature of the Wing Commander experience as the games.
I have decided to go back to the spirtual roots of Wing Commander, putting our old feline adversaries back at the centre of events. I am trying to write this in the same spirit as the original books, avoiding gratuitous sex and expletives. As much as I can, I am hoping to keep tight with the existing canon, seasoning the tale with as much background and history as possible.
What I would love to get back from everyone is support and interest most of all, and some help with keeping my facts straight where I've erred. Please let me know what you think!
Right, I have blabbed on long enough; here's the story so far (about 10%):
