I, too, wanted another book about Maia. I NEED another book about Maia. Also about his half-sister and his nephew and nieces. I like the follow-ups, but I like to read about women doing things. It depresses me a little that so many female writers choose to write about men. When I write, my main viewpoint character is almost always female.

I don't usually read L. E. Modesitt, Jr., but I picked up a book of his called Isolate, and it interested me enough that I read the two sequels. There's fourth coming along called Legalist, and it is preordered.
