Book 5 of the story
FutureBook five. I am no longer in the company I built. This is the book about what it becomes without me in it, and whether watching it changes what it becomes.
Where it sits in the story.
The colony. I am out of the seat, and what I grew goes on growing without me.
Drafting has not started yet. It arrives after Without Me, and it will land here when it is ready.
No release date is promised. It ships when it is done and every word has been reviewed by a human, not before.
