The manuscript for John Kenneth Muir’s newest Space: 1999 novel was delivered to the vast Powys Media factory/warehouse :laugh: just a few minutes ago.
Yay!!! Super cool news, Mateo!!! (Sorry, I can’t do the Happy Dance justice, so I won’t try.) By the way, I’ve missed you on these boards… Hope all is well with you and yours.
WoooooooooooHooooooooooo!!!! You know what that means, yes I’ve dusted them off, put them on my feet and I’m dancing. WooHoo! New book on the way.
Happy Dance… 🙂 :cheer: :laugh: :woohoo: :silly: :woohoo: :laugh: :cheer: 🙂 :cheer: :laugh: :woohoo: :silly: :woohoo: :laugh: :cheer: 🙂 :cheer: :laugh: :woohoo: :silly: :woohoo: :laugh: :cheer: 🙂 :cheer: :laugh: :woohoo: :silly: :woohoo: :laugh: :cheer: 🙂 :cheer: :laugh: :woohoo: :silly: :woohoo: :silly: :woohoo: :silly: :woohoo: :silly: :woohoo: :silly: :woohoo: :silly: :woohoo: :silly: :woohoo: :silly: :woohoo: :silly: :woohoo: :silly: :woohoo: :silly: :woohoo: :silly: :woohoo: :silly: :woohoo: :silly: :woohoo: :laugh: 😆 :cheer: 🙂 Phew, a little more warning in future Mateo, that took a lot out of me… Lol

[spoiler]There’re hints dropped in the Year 2 Omnibus (at the start of the Powysverse version of “The Exiles”) about this long-awaited novel. Must admit, reading them made me want to read it all the more! As I’ve said on the forum previously, what with me being a HUGE fan of all that’s good about YEAR 2, I’m desperate to read a novel set during it, especially one that’s set so soon after “The Metamorph”.[/spoiler]
“The Forsaken” was absolutely brilliant! Can J-KM top that with “The Whispering Sea”? We’ll have to wait and… sea? 😉
Must admit, I too would like more news regarding the re-release of “Phoenix of Megaron”. Still reading “Android Planet” (in true [b]SPACE: 1999 [/b]fashion, I’ve taken a detour into Year 2! LOL!). Looking forward to the revised/updated Powysverse version of Rankine’s follow up.

Just remember, this is only the first draft. There’ll need to be AT LEAST one more draft (perhaps the FINAL draft), an approval from ITV, a cover design (and another approval from ITV), then a final proofread, formatting to Lulu’s specs, a proof copy, revisions to the proof copy, ANOTHER proof copy…and THEN publication.
And The Powysverse Compendium will be published before The Whispering Sea. It’s just entering the final draft stage now.
Phoenix of Megaron is a little further on, as its manuscript and cover have already been approved.
Thanks for the updates Mateo. 🙂 Always good to know that we have something to look forward to. Sometime… 🙁 But I’m not dancing you notice. I think I will have to reserve dancing for truly exciting news – like a shipping notification from Lulu. :laugh:
Any word on the the Year one omnibus? :dry:
I finished reading The Whispering Sea. I will be typing up my notes today and tomorrow and getting them to John. We have a call scheduled for Friday morning where we’ll discuss the manuscript and any changes to be incorporated into the second draft.
So, I think you all know you can’t have The Whispering Sea NOW! John has been working on this novel for months. Once it is truly finished and ready for publication, that’s when it will be released. Can’t promise you any more than that.
There are references to this novel in the Year Two omnibus in the novelization of the second episode. Check it out! Just in case you were wondering: YES, we do plan these things out YEARS in advance.
