Just fyi, in case anyone hadn't been keeping track (and I hadn't seen anything
posted on this yet, but maybe I missed it), I just stopped by Walden's Books
earlier today and saw
that Weber/White's sequel to "In Death Ground", "The Shiva
Option", is now out in paperback.
Of course, this is the first time I've been to a bookstore in about a month,
so it may have come out earlier and I didn't
notice. ;-)

I just finished this book last week. I loved it. Granted it is long, but
plenty of starship blasting action to keep it going. All I have to do now is
get the prequels to it.

I wish they'd do ISW3, but I fear that's not to be. However, reading the
descriptions between scenerios in the previous version of Starfire,
especially The Stars at War suppliment, is almost the same thing... ;->=
I really find how much I love the read a guilty pleasure, but I found it well
worth the angst.
BTW, I never saw In Death Ground in hard bound. I bought The Shiva Option in
the expensive version because I JUST COULDN'T WAIT, but now that I have one
bound, I'd like to match the set. Does anyone know if In Death Ground was in
HB?

In Death Ground did not come out in hard back. I think it was one of the last
David Weber books to be released in softcover first. I saw David Weber at a
Con in Charlotte, NC a few months ago and asked him if he was going to write
anymore Starfire novels and he said no. Based on the number of other writing
projects that he mentioned he was involved in at the Con I would say even if
he changed his mind its going to be a long time before he had the free time to
work on such a project. I was disapointed with this answer as I had talked to
Steve White at an another Con 2 or 3 years ago and he said that the two of
them were talking about another Starfire novel after they had finished The
Shive Option. Though this novel was set after the events in Insurection IIRC.

When Weber wrote the Starfire novels, he was also the main author of the
Starfire game system and the Starfire scenario modules. I got a distinct
impression that he lost interest in writing more Starfire novels when he
lost control over the game, so I'd be somewhat surprised if he writes any
further novels in that universe... and I'd be even more surprised if any
such novels are mirrored by new scenario modules :-/
