And recently published Proxima about settlers on a planet around Proxima Cent. https://www.amazon.com/Proxima-Stephen-Baxter/dp/045146771X

Finished Ultima a couple of weeks ago, didn't know it was the second in a series. I'm looking forward to reading Proxima when I can get to it on my list.

I got an early release of this, and it is fantastic.

Waiting eagerly.

Oh, what timing! I just finished the second book a couple of days ago. I had no idea the next book was coming out soon.

After reading the first one I pre-ordered both the 2nd in paperback and the 3rd in hardcover, so they'd arrive at about the same time. It felt sort of clever at the time, but I guess I won't do very much that weekend...
