A blurb for Vanguard: What Judgments Come<\/em> included the news that the book is the beginning of the end of the Vanguard<\/em> series.<\/p>\n

After the description the What Judgments Come<\/em> story, the blurb concluded with “The end of the epic saga begins.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Sharp-eyed posters caught that last sentence and asked questions on TrekBBS, where the authors post. “Will Storming Heaven<\/em> [due out next year] bring it to a close?” asked DarkHorizon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“Storming Heaven<\/em> will be the finale, yes,” said co-author David Mack<\/strong>. “It was a decision made by us, the authors, to end the saga properly, rather than risk it running out of steam or end up left unfinished for whatever reason.”<\/p>\n

“We’ve begun the process of bringing the Vanguard<\/em> series to what we hope is a proper and epic conclusion,” said Dayton Ward<\/strong>, posting in his blog. “What Judgments Come<\/em>, written by me and Kevin<\/strong> [Dilmore<\/strong>] and coming in October, is the first of a 2-part conclusion to the series. It’ll be followed next year with the seventh and final novel, Storming Heaven<\/em> written by David Mack, who faces the monumental task of putting to bed the series he helped create.<\/p>\n

“We’ve been plotting this for going on two years now. The series had always been conceived with a beginning, middle, and end.”<\/p>\n

If the editors and publishers had had their way, the Vanguard series<\/em> would have continued. “The idea of ending the series wasn’t an easy sell,” said Ward. “Both our editor (Margaret Clark<\/strong> at the time), and even the CBS Licensing office weren’t on board with the notion at first. Vanguard<\/em>, we were told, sold well, was popular, and was a favorite of certain folks in the licensing office. Still, they let us make our case: We wanted to end the series on a high note, rather than let it linger for too long.”<\/p>\n

What Judgments Come<\/em> will be released this October and next year, Storming Heaven<\/em> will wrap up the series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
