More rankomancy!
It appears -- as one would hope -- that Threshold's release re-energized some interest in Boundary; for the third time in the last week or so that I've checked, Boundary ranks higher than either GCA OR Threshold.

Yes, "Portal" is not only planned but already under contract.

PORTAL...
==============================================================================================
No, I plan to leave them all there marooned on the icy radiation-saturated moon! MUAAAHAHAHAH!

If you *REALLY* did that, it would be proof of a truly cold hearted nature (or a publisher that told you to *STOP*). Glad that PORTAL is already under contract and I'm hoping that there will be more of the archeological/paleoarcheological "stuff" that I so loved in BOUNDARY. (Ok, so I'm a science geek who more prefers the exploratory to the techno-thriller stories most of the time. Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!)
Re: PORTAL...
The "publisher didn't give you a contract" is, alas, by far the most likely reason for a series being left without closure. It's very rare (though not completely unheard of) for the author to be the one deciding he/she isn't going to continue.
There won't be a HUGE amount of archaeological stuff in Portal except mostly offstage, because the main problem -- as anyone reading Threshold knows -- is going to be getting Our Heroes to SURVIVE. They have a lot of work to do, especially since one of the heroes is separated from the others in a derelict vessel and no one else knows he's alive yet.
But I have a few surprises there. Also, assuming Threshold sells reasonably well, Eric and I will contract with Baen for at least one more book in the series because we haven't even reached Enceladus yet. :)
