@anthracite Too many, but THIS time I know *why* I'm rewriting it. (TLDR: I picked the wrong protagonists the first time round. I now have a different novel with better protagonists who can be reused and will make everything Much More Fun.)

@Npars01 Can't. It was my worst-selling SF novel by some way (poor marketing, IMO) and the US rights are stuck with Ace, who I no longer work with. Whole new space opera, however, is a thing …

@woe2you The first round worked fine, but I have a retinal occlusion in that eye so it's not terribly useful.
