Mamelukes

Pournelle’s Janissaries series follows a group of mercenaries kidnapped by aliens for service on a far-away planet. Later volumes were co-written with Roland Green, and supposedly, a fourth volume, Mamelukes, is largely complete, and will hopefully become available at some point.

"Latest Janissaries Novel. I have 75,000 words done of about 80,000. There are many new characters, as well as all -- ALL -- of the old ones. A lot happens. A LOT. Some happens off stage in the High Commission: I have no viewpoint characters who can see that, but the effects will be felt both on Earth and Tran.

I've been working pretty steadily on this. Watch out for Ghurkas...

Alas, as of Spring, 2007 I haven't finished this. It is about next on my schedule, after Inferno II, and I expect to turn it in to Ace in July, 2007. Portions of Mamelukes are available to subscribers in the subscriber only area of the Chaos Manor Reviews web site."
