Ahh. Thanks. I read some, but not all the MU stories in the anthology. I'll go back to read the others prior to getting to the Sorrows of the Empire and then Rise Like Lions. I'll be caught with the DS9 books prior to Rise Like Lions for sure.
I've been burning up through the DS9 relaunch since I received my Kindle for Christmas. I'm halfway through the Mission Gamma series but may take a short break after finishing it. I may read through some or all of the MU series. I loved the idea behind MirU & MyrU and picked them all up but I haven't read any yet other than the full novel-length version of Sorrows of Empire. It was a good stand-alone, at least until the sequel comes out later this year, and I loved it. I think these would make a good break since I can drop in and drop out whenever I like. There isn't a lot of back story to worry about and there's not a whole lot that relies on them. Awesome "I need a break from a long, ongoing saga" material.

Dave, since it's been almost a year since the above post, has S&S pulled their heads out of their asses with regards to this problem?
^ No, but I and former editor-turned-author Marco Palmieri continue to storm the gates of indifference, hoping to effect a positive change. We're not hopeful, though. For now, fans will have to find RTW used, buy it as an eBook, or pay twice the price to get the weird print-on-demand version being sold exclusively through Amazon.
And I suppose the PoD version has a completely different ISBN?Vanguard's sales would probably be stronger if this issue was resolved.
Yes, the PoD version has a different ISBN. And trust me when I say that I and the other authors working on Vanguard are all painfully aware of the impact that this problem is having on sales of the rest of the series.

Well, as long as you guys keep writing 'em, I'll keep buying 'em.
Also, I know Dayton had 7 years between the publications of The Last World War and Counterstrike, I'd sure as hell hope that I (and your other readers) don't have to wait that long between The Calling and it's sequel/continuation.

Well, we'll see. I know I won't be writing one this year. As for next year? Who knows.
Quick question:
Does the upcoming Vanguard: Declassified pick up from the other novels or is this a stand alone?

The four novellas pick up threads from the series and set up thread for the upcoming books.
Wonderful interview. Thanks for sharing.
