Episode Two: The Blood Dancers - 6/21/23
Routine shore leave goes wrong goes when terrorists attack a normally peaceful planet. Forced into a pursuit they weren’t prepared for, the Burning Apollo faces a horrific new enemy—one that will turn her captain against the crew and offer a shocking revelation of just how far humanity has fallen.
Pre-orders are up for Episode Two of The Shattered Stars, the Star Trek meets Firefly series I’m cowriting with Kyle Muntz. More information about the series here.
While it’s the sequel to Colony Collapse, our intention and goal for each episode is to make them stand alone. So while we recommend beginning with Colony Collapse, you can certainly start here.

The episode will be released as an ebook and paperback on 6/21/2023, which is fast approaching!
I cannot wait for you all to read this. Every episode we write becomes my new favorite and better than the last. And because I’m only a cowriter and not the singular author behind this series, it allows me to be a fan of our series even as we write it.
This may seem like nothing, but it’s something I’ve never experienced before.
I love it.
As always, paying subscribers here will receive the ebook version of this early and included with their membership. I may even send it out next week.
And if you haven’t picked up Colony Collapse yet, I sure would love if you did! If you have picked it up, I’d greatly appreciate a review on Amazon dot com.
Serialized Novel
I’ve mentioned this several times since you kind subscribers voted for it last year, but I’m ready to begin serializing a novel here. The project has changed since I first dreamt it up last fall, but we’re now ready to go, with the first episode coming next Wednesday.
The novel is called Emrys the Fool and it should be a great deal of fun as it gears up and gets going. To put it simply, it’s a steampunked mix of Harry Potter and the Gundam franchise. That means giant robots, a magic school, and then a lot of the weirdness readers of my fiction will likely recognize.
Should be a lot of fun.
I’ll be releasing a new chapter every Wednesday. The first chapter will be free for everyone with each subsequent chapter being paywalled for two weeks before it’s released for everyone.
Also, because I’m kind and choose not to assume, you need to opt-in to this serialization. I know and understand that not everyone here is here for my fiction so I’ll leave it to those with the interest to opt-in to this novel.
Here’s how to do it: go to radicaledward.substack.com/account.

Emrys the Fool is currently off. To turn it on, click it.
It should now look like this:
Easy peasy lemon squeezy, yeah?
When I release the first chapter, I’ll remind everyone as well.
You can always navigate over there from the Wolf homepage as well. The header now looks like this:
There’s no podcast and I’m not entirely sure what Chat is, but the rest of that is useful. So if you want to check in on Emrys the Fool, just click the appropriate section up there.
Some bookish stuff.
