Unreliable FTL
Filed under Reviews • 12-05-2010 •
Writer Matthew S. Dent reviews Silversands on his blog:
“I really did enjoy this novel. It was fun, but not silly. The characters were strong, the plot engaging, and the writing well beyond competent. But the real triumph, I feel, is the world that Powell has created. A universe with humanity scattered across the stars by unreliable FTL travel is one that has a lot of potential, particularly with the developments at the end of the story. I hope that Powell returns to this universe at some point, and it would be a real shame if some of the characters from Silversands didn’t get a second appearance.”

Is there any news of a follow up to Silversands? Or is it to soon to say?
Hi Phil. I’ve no current plans to write a sequel to Silversands. At the moment, I am working on two new novels and a second collection of short fiction. However, I do have a certain affection for some of the characters in the book, so may return to that universe one day.
