David Marusek qui vient de signer Mind Over Ship fait le point sur ses projets dans une interview qui se lit ici.

"What's next? Are you working on a third novel in this series? You left us with quite a cliffhanger.
David Marusek : I left myself with the same cliffhanger. Although I have tried to be more methodical, I'm just not the kind of writer who can work from outlines. All I know is that one or more of the great Oships embarks on a thousand-year voyage to a new planetary home. That's the series arc; I have no clue what happens in the individual episodes. When I ended MOS I loaded that cliff with a lot of neat things I myself would like to see in the next episode, without having any idea of how to make them happen. I guess that's one reason why it takes me so long to write these books—all of the time they take to hatch. In the months since I turned in the MOS manuscript, insights about what Fred or Mary might do next continue to visit me at odd moments, and I jot them down. The big picture of Book 3 is starting to be sketched out.

I hate to add this, but I've been toiling in the CH universe now for about 14 years. I have recovered about five stories and two novels from it so far, and there are many more in there. But I need a short furlough from that world, which isn't a very pleasant world, to spend some quality time in a completely different fictional landscape. New digs, new lexicon, new characters. Everything is so new I can't even talk about it yet."
