I’ve been making great progress on INFINITY – First Colony Book 13. Lucky number 13! I was very productive last month and I will finish this book on time. Woohoo! I’ll save the celebratory drink for when I actually finish the book. The pre-order for the book is below.
Venturing into the unknown means pushing the limits of everything thought possible.
10 years ago, the Ark II departed on a long journey through interstellar space, but shortly after they reached their destination, all communications ceased. All attempts to re-establish contact have failed.
Utilizing prototypical FTL technology that he invented, one brave man will lead a small expedition into the unknown to discover the colony’s fate.
The challenges of establishing the first interstellar colony nearly destroyed humanity. What new challenges will the second colony bring?
Readers who have been following this series won’t be surprised by the advent of FTL technology in this book. Noah and others have been working on it for a while now, and there will be quite a few surprises in store for them. One of the rules I’d established for this series was that they didn’t have FTL capabilities. Once the colonist arrived at New Earth, they were pretty much stuck there for the most part. Over the course of the previous 12 books, the story shows the evolution of the First Colony through the struggles the characters face and the obstacles they overcame. Given what’s been accomplished, I felt it was time to begin the next chapter in this series. I’ve been fortunate enough to write so many different types of stories in this series, from exploring a new world, epic space battles, post-war struggles and infighting, and a taste of the multiverse. The cast of characters has grown as well, where we’re starting to see more of the next generation of colonists begin to take an active part in the story. It's been both challenging and a lot of fun for me as a storyteller.
Regarding book titles. I try to pick titles that have a meaningful connection with the story. So what’s with INFINITY then? Well, the INFINITY is that beautiful ship on the book cover 😉
If you happened to wander here and have never read the First Colony series, maybe give it a try. The First Colony series is a Space Opera Epic series with roots in Military Science Fiction. It has a rich array of characters and situations that have caused some people to lose a little sleep while they read just one more chapter.
That’s my status update for February.
As always, thank you for reading my work.

So happy to hear that another colony book will be out soon! I guess I’m one of those readers that has read until the sun comes up.
I do hope Conner will be a major player in Infinity. To me, he’s the Captain Kirk or Luke Skywalker of the series. Just to be clear though, the Luke from the Mandalorian………not the Luke from the last three movies,…….hahaha.
Ken, your books are such a pleasure to read. You are a great story teller. Always looking forward to your next book. Thank you!
Hi Dan,
Thank you so much I really appreciate it.
