EARTH HAS DISCOVERED HYPERSPACE!
Janice Quant warns Jessica Chen-Jasic. They must unite the colonies before Earth has hyperspace capability, but they've never found three of the colonies. They have to find them!
The race is on, and Chen ChaoPing, ChaoLi and JieMin's daughter, and her crew set off in the Wanderlust to find them. It will take years searching all the niches these colonies may be.
When they find them, then what? How far have the lost colonies diverged? Will the lost colonies even be friendly?
If they're not, what will the crew of the Wanderlust do then?
AN INTERVIEW WITH RICH WEYAND
What's Lost Colony about?
There are three colonies the Arcadians never found, the last three placed by Janice Quant in 'Quant.' They don't know where they are and they have no records to tell them. Janice Quant made sure no records were kept.
The hyperspace liner Wanderlust goes out to find them?
Yes, by brute force inspection of the places they might be. It takes ChaoPing and her crew almost four years to find all three of the missing colonies.
But the title is singular. Lost Colony.
The first colony they find within a year. That is the twenty-third colony, so they know where the twenty-second colony is. It's the twenty-fourth colony that's hard to find.
But they do find it, right?
Yes, they find it, but it's in serious trouble. It's 'lost' in more ways than one.
What can they do about that?
ChaoPing's crew is composed of some of the people we've met elsewhere in the series, as well as some new characters. Talented and capable and experienced. It's a challenge, but they're up to it.
Four-year voyage of discovery, and they take their families along?
Yes. First, Wanderlust is a huge ship, a hyperspace liner with accommodations for fourteen hundred. There's no lack of room. Such a long trip has the inevitable results, though. Some of the children reach adulthood during the voyage. There is more than one wedding along the way.
What else would be surprising about 'Lost Colony'?
We find out the robots are even more capable than we thought, in ways we didn't know about. That, and Janice Quant re-enters the storyline in a big way. She's basically the driver behind 'Lost Colony.'
Some readers will be happy to see Quant back.
So is the author. Janice is fun to write.
