my historical novel about Helen of Troy and the Trojan War.I'll be at Bubonicon in Albuquerque, August 27-29, 2010. I plan to attend Intervention, in the Washington DC area, 10-12 September.
One of my short stories, "Duel in the Somme," is coming out as a graphic novel and the convention will be a kick-off for it.
Ben speaks to the AVATAR controversy... Tor has published THE RETURN, tieing together the backgrounds of the Grand Tour series and my earlier Voyagers trilogy.
August brings the Re-issue of the hard to find VOYAGERS trilogy, see below for more info.
I'm working on, a sequel to JUPITER,and next year will probably start on a novel set on the Moon, tentatively titled FARSIDE.Fans keep asking about the MARS book plans.
As far as Mars goes I've already done three novels about the human exploration of Mars, in addition to novels set at Mercury, Venus, and several in the Asteroid Belt.
At the moment I don't have any plans for a novel set at Pluto or the very distant outer bodies and planets, mainly because I can't see why any human explorers would want to go there.
However if a good reason pops up, I'll probably "send" an expedition there, too.
From the Moon to Mars, Venus, Jupiter and the Asteroid Belt, his novels show the adventure and excitement of our advance across the space frontier.

The United States military satellites, designed to withstand such an assault, show that two more missiles are sitting on the launch pad in North Korea, ready to be deployed.

VOYAGERS
The Voyagers novels started with a basic question: How would the world react is we received unequivocal knowledge that there are other more intelligent species in the universe?
