It has a dark fascist version of Star Trek's Federation,& is less cheesy than i feared. A reboot could be the Brit Battlestar.

Its a tavesty that the guy hasn't written 30 books by now and be famous the world over. His comments on the Bob Newell website make really depressing reading for a fan... http://www.bobnewell.net/chungkuo/fallow.html I just wonder if it isn't all pie in the sky....can you see someone investing in re-issuing the books even as re-writes with it being a not especially successful sci-fi series? The original publishers want their backsides kicking though - the guy should be up there with modern day sci-fi greats like Peter F Hamilton. Couple of questions: So the rights have gone to Atlantic now - is that confirmed? I was under the impression he had finished the prequel already - so why hasn't that been released? Why hasn't he got his own website - they can be created for peanuts and he could update us himself and that way the fans have somewhere to go and find out about what he is up to! Anyway - fingers crossed it comes out someday! Hi – good to hear at least someone out there talking about the new book(s).

One day someone went down all the names on my blog roll and clicked every female name on it (and Jetse's, so it obviously was someone who wasn't overly familiar with the SF world or Dutch nomenclature). I felt vaguely... stalked. The whole stats thing is a riot.
