Around about a decade since Arlchip Burnout, the first book in my Karnish River Navigations series arrived, the final book, Yesterday’s Ziggurat is here.
It’s an intriguing feeling, reaching the end of a project like this. I mean, at first, I didn’t even know it was a project. I was just writing a fun novel, I thought.
When I realized that I had on my hands characters I enjoyed hanging out with, and a title sequence that lent itself to a sequence of books, I began working with a little more focus toward creating a finite series.
The twelve books can be read in any order, so if you’ve not read any yet, Yesterday’s Ziggurat is as good a place to jump in as any. I might even say it’s the best place to jump in, since it was the last book I wrote, and mostly the last book I wrote is my favorite.
Available as a preorder from the usual places, Amazon for both print and ebook, and the other major retailers for ebooks. $5.99 for the ebook, $19.99 for the paperback. Release date is April 20th.
If you want it now (of course you do!) it’s available directly from me on the website – www.seanmonaghan.com. Use the code YZFriend25 to get 50% discount, valid through until April 21st (the link there should automatically apply the discount).
Oh, I guess I should mention what the book is about, right? This is the back cover blurb:
Yesterday’s Ziggurat
Decades after the diaspora, the vast canal lands of Karnth still support struggling farms.
When a sinkhole chews up Dallas Saldon’s soil-tuner, and almost takes him too, he knows he needs to rethink his plans. Tough and resilient, Dallas faces challenges with a stoicism born of the land.
But the sinkhole proves just the beginning. Placing Dallas and a new arrival in more danger than he knows.
Called in to help, Flis Kupe and Grae Sinder face challenges beyond anything from before.
Challenges that might just change everything they know about the canal lands.
And beyond.
A Karnish River Navigations novel that pits the investigators against an unimaginable foe.
My next task is updating most of the covers of the series – you’ll see that Waxing Xebec and Yesterday’s Ziggurat are the only ones with my name at the top. Fixing that now.
Thanks for reading and being a friend to the site. Most appreciated.
