Since my Overlords of Mars series was abruptly interrupted after book 2 some 10 years ago, I finally have got down to finishing book 3 (it’s basically done, I just need a few days or a week or so to edit it and clean up a few things, I thought it might be fun to put up on the blog a few of the more autistic parts of the universe I created with that series.
So, over the next few days you should see aa dedicated link appear on the left sidebar, that will lead to more information that you probably want to know about the military structures on Mars, Luna and the insignia they wear and the size of the spaceships and on and on and on, as time permits.
Some of you know that Umberto Eco walked a certain measured distance for his Name of the Rose, to see whether a dialogue he had in it would fit in the time it took to walk it. And some people are impressed by this.
Personally I find it absolutely normal. And I guarantee you that however much stuff I manage to throw up on my dedicated and nested linked pages in due course, it will always be just a fraction of the notes and plot-lines, and people and things I have kept track of.
So… the science fiction autists among you may yet rejoice soon. And the book will be out before Christmas too (unless I get abducted by Aliens).
It will come out first in a huge Omnibus edition that contains all three books. The third book as a separate work will be out later and I am not sure if that will make it before the Christams deadline.
Anyway… if you are into science fiction, esoteric technology (that exists), very effective martial arts (that exist) intrigue, Nazi conspiracies, and shady aliens, as well as the general impression that we live on a kind of prison planet, yet, are looking for hopeful and old-style storylines that inspire, amaze, surprise and get you emotionally involved, well… I have really only had good reviews so far, so you may want to think about saving up for the big one. The first book in the series is $2.99 for kindle, just so you get almost 200 pages to judge wether you want to read the next instalments or not.
The second book is a lot more cinematic that the first, and the third one is a bit of a mix between the first and second book, as some concepts and plot lines needed advancing, but there remains a lot of action too.
