"The 1,300-page manuscript for OLYMPOS was delivered to Harper Collins EOS editor Jennifer Brehl in September of 2004, has been accepted, and is currently in the proofreading stage. The book is scheduled for release in July, 2005.
“The scope and scale of ILIUM was pretty large,” Dan said recently, “but OLYMPOS is larger and, I think, more compelling. Having left the predictable confines of the classic Iliad, all bets are off concerning the future and fates of all the characters. Even mighty Zeus is at risk.”
Those who’ve read OLYMPOS in manuscript agree that the story begun in ILIUM becomes more compelling as the different strands in that first novel – the fate of the post-humans on Earth, the adventurous moravecs Mahnmut and Orphu, the heroes of ancient Troy, the Olympian gods, and the various other plots – converge and gain momentum, ending in what one reader has called “a literally world-shattering climax.”
“I feel good about this concluding volume of the tale because I think the human elements of the story gain focus and importance in OLYMPOS,” said Dan. “And when the entire tale is told, it becomes apparent that the central theme of all the stories was not so much the Iliad, but the ancient Prometheus legend.”
ILIUM is scheduled for mass-market paperback release in June and Dan will be touring for OLYMPOS in July, 2005. "
