The new book is provisionally entitled The Wandering Moon, and I’ll keep you all updated on its progress in due course.

I also found out recently that Book 2, Trinity Rising (coming out next month, hint hint) will be available as an audiobook, read by the wonderful Allan Corduner who did such a great job of Songs of the Earth. He’s currently filming, but we hope to get him in the studio later in the summer to start recording.
