Yes, I know most of you don't read emails on a Sunday afternoon, but I wanted to send out one last reminder in case you missed it. You followed my Complete Saga of Seven Suns project, and I hope you're excited to dive into my giant—and *finished*—SF epic series. But some of you haven't yet gotten a reservation for early access.
☀️
Early Access Here The campaign officially launches at 10 AM (Mountain) on Tuesday, but anyone who has paid $1 to be on the reservations list gets VIP early access. You'll receive an email at 10 AM Monday with a link to get you in.
If you are interested in the signed/numbered deluxe sets or the extremely limited graphic novels, I strongly encourage you to get in the early-access line. We expect (hope?) that a lot of the items will sell out quickly. By Tuesday it might be too late.

The Complete Saga of Seven Suns—one week until launch!

In the vast expanse of the stars, Empires do not rise…they ignite!
Seven more days until launch. Six days if you have a reservation. Usually, a week out from such a big campaign, we would be frantically scrambling to get all the pieces ready. But my team has been working for a year and a half, and all of the prep work is done. This is the calm before the storm. The 13 books are written, edited, proofed, and laid out. The covers are designed, and all of the deluxe sets are already at the printer.
We just received the sample copies of the jacketed hardcovers, and they look perfect. After the 150 deluxe sets sell out, these regular hardcovers will be the next best thing. As a less-expensive option, even the trade paperback set will look great on your shelf.
I was able to track down a few more copies of the rare and out-of-print Seven Suns graphic novel, but the quantities are still extremely limited.
If you're interested in one of these, or in a low number of the signed deluxe sets, I strongly encourage you to use BackerKit's reservation system, which will grant you access to the campaign 24 hours before the doors open for everyone else.
That means on Monday at 10 a.m. Mountain Time, you'll be able to dive in. In my next email, I'll send a list of all the items and prices so you can ponder before the opening bell.
Special cross-collaboration with Avarice RPG.
Right now, while we’re about to launch The Complete Saga of Seven Suns campaign, Fat Goblin Games will also launch
Avarice: The Morningstar RPG. A sweeping interstellar SF role-playing game and a big space-opera book series—seems like a match made in the Orion Nebula!
For our cross-collaboration, we are giving special rewards to any followers who back both projects. From Fat Goblin Games, you’ll receive a set of three digital books,
The First Index - The Project Morningstar World Bible; The Index is the definitive guide to the worlds, peoples, powers, technologies, and history of the Project: Morningstar universe.
The Accounts - A Collection of Short Fiction from Known Space; The Accounts collects short fiction from across Project: Morningstar, revealing how ordinary people survive, work, and pursue opportunity within the corporate machinery of the Hegemon.
The Avarice RPG Quick Start Rules - The Avarice RPG Quick Start Rules provide everything needed to enter the Hegemon, create a crew of Contractors, learn the 2d20 system, and complete a dangerous introductory Contract.
And from me, you’ll receive the unabridged audiobook of my hard-SF novel Persephone, written with Jeffrey Morris, which is currently in development as a feature film. A cutting-edge hard SF trip to the nearest star, Alpha Centauri, and humanity's desperate bid for a new home on the planet Proxima-b.
Back both projects and get both rewards.
See you in a week!

Seven Suns signature sheets! And a Witchy War

Anticipation is building for The Complete Saga of Seven Suns, and my team has been working like crazy to get everything ready. We launch in less than two weeks. 👉
Reserve Now
Ambitious humans have spread across the Spiral Arm, colonizing planets, making new homes, and reaping the wealth of uninhabited worlds. The ancient, stagnant Ildiran Empire views humans as upstarts, and the two races coexist in an uneasy tolerance. Until a disastrous experiment with lost alien technology—a device that can ignite gas-giant planets and turn them into small suns to warm new colony worlds—awakens a titanic force that has lain dormant for millennia. Now, the human race and the Ildiran Empire face a war that may shatter the cosmos.
At the heart of this epic reissue of my grand SF saga are the beautiful deluxe sets, the Universe Set, which includes the entire series, all 13 volumes ($700) and the Galaxy Set, the original core seven novels ($400). These sets have sprayed edges, astronomical endpapers, spot-color printing in the interiors, and varnished covers. They are autographed and hand numbered, strictly limited to 150 copies of each set.

I designed a unique signature page, different for each book and each set. These pages will be printed in color, and I will autograph each one when they arrive. The order has already been sent to the printer with delivery expected not long after the campaign ends. While there are many variables in printing a large and fancy job like this, there’s a good chance we can get these sets out to backers by Christmas.
Pay in Installments
We know these big sets are a significant investment. BackerKit allows you to pay in four installments.
We expect these numbered and limited sets to sell out quickly. BackerKit’s reservation allows you to get into the VIP early-access line. For $1, the lowest they will allow us to charge, you will be able to get into the campaign a full 24 hours before the rest of the public. That’ll be your chance to get the lowest numbers of the sets and also to snap up some of the extremely limited items, like the rare Seven Suns graphic novel. 👉
Reserve NowJacketed Hardcover and Trade Paperback Sets
If the limited editions sell out, or if you’re just interested in regular editions, our jacketed hardcover and trade paperback sets turned out beautifully. We’ve already received sample copies to make sure the quality is as high as we expect.
THE WITCHY WAR
And…while you’re waiting, a new Kickstarter just launched this morning from our friend Dave Butler,
The Witchy War. Writers help each other, and this engaging alt-history epic fantasy might also be up your alley.
The Witchy War is set in a Jacksonian-era fantasy America. It’s about three hidden children of a murdered king who learn their true identities when their uncle, the emperor, tries to kill them. They race to recover their thrones against their enemies the Emperor Thomas Penn, the Necromancer Oliver Cromwell, and the ancient and vengeful god of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers, the Heron King.

Hey there!
One of the other exciting aspects of the Seven Suns campaign is all the amazing artwork developed for the worlds, ships, characters, and events. Much of this art was created by Pedro Cardosa and Rashed AlAkroka as part of an extensive Saga of Seven Suns board game (which is still in development). We have over 90 paintings, never before seen, which will be offered as a giant digital art portfolio for $25. Here are some samples.
We want to make a bookmark to send with our beautiful bespoke Universe and Galaxy book sets. From the art gallery, we've chosen four character paintings to use on the bookmark. Which one do you like best? Please vote in the poll and help us out.

Seven Suns Campaign Highlights
If you missed any of the previous updates, here’s a refresher on the items we’ve featured. The Saga of Seven Suns is the biggest project in my career: 13 books, 6200 pages, 2 million words. I’ve been working in this universe for 25 years! After years of wrangling, I finally have all the rights back, so I can release the complete set for the first time ever. New cover paintings, all new designs, completely reproofed and consistency-checked. And I even wrote an original book in the series,
Roamer’s Wrath, which has never been published. The only place to get it is in this campaign.

While we will have regular hardcovers, trade paperbacks, and ebooks, the star of this show is the lavish deluxe set with sprayed edges, astronomical endpapers, and color highlights in the interior printing. These will be signed and hand-numbered and limited to only 150 sets, $700 for the complete 13-volume set and $400 for the core 7-novel set.

One of the other extremely limited items is the beautiful Seven Suns graphic novel, Veiled Alliances, originally published in 2002 by Wildstorm. This book has been out of print for more than fifteen years and I have very few copies to offer in the campaign. If you want to get in the VIP line to get one before they’re all gone, be sure to reserve your place in the campaign.

We're looking forward to seeing your votes on the character art bookmark.
Best,
KJA
