I'm going to immediately apologize that this is not a continuation of the story. But I do have some news that may excite those who followed it.

This series has been long dead for awhile and, despite that, I still get people asking me about it even after all these years. For a long time I wanted to return to it, but never really could bring myself to it. Part of that reason was because there were a lot of things I regretted about it when I first wrote it, particularly the first installment of the series, "The Final Frontier". It got to the point where I basically would rather redo the whole thing rather than continue it.

And that, my friends, is what I have decided to do. I am going to reboot the entire series, starting over from a fresh start. What would such a reboot entail? I wrote about this on my Deviant Art page a few weeks ago, and I'll repost some of that here:

"The major change would be with Arell, specifically her behavior in the first of the series, "The Final Frontier". When I first began writing that series, Arell was meant to be evil. There was no redemption arc, nothing like that planned. She was just a hot alien woman being a giantess. I don't remember when or why, but I eventually decided such a simple approach to the character wasn't good enough, so the whole arc of her redemption came along. However, this change of character was not well transitioned, especially since Arell killed people in front of Bradley and seemed to enjoy doing so, and continued to maliciously tease and taunt him.

A reboot of the series would feature a much more restrained Arell, who regrets having to "step in" and take control of the planet, but feeling that she must do so. However, her approach, while firm, would be more diplomatic, creating the second big change of the series. In "The Final Frontier", Arell is the antagonist. She seems to be enslaving the planet and threatens to destroy it if there is resistance. In the reboot, her rule would offer a future of peace and technological advancement at the cost of the planet's freedom. This creates a schism in which many in humanity are in favor of Arell's rule, while others wish to resist it. Bradley Peterson is thus forced to face not only Arell, but his fellow humans."

In the coming months, I hope to post the first chapter of this reboot, eventually making this story into an E-book of sorts. To that end, and please excuse this bit of self promotion, I have opened a patreon, and one of the tiers is designed to help fund me so that I can create bigger, story driven works like the "Frontier" series.

I want to emphasize that the series will not be exclusive to those supporting me on Patreon, it will be released for free as it was originally. But, patrons will get early access to chapters, so, if you've been a long time fan and are interested in supporting me, please feel free to check out my Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/KevinFred.

I apologize for sounding like a shill, but writing has always been what I wanted to do and this is the time that I can finally make it happen.

Regardless of whatever you choose...look to the stars, Dear Readers...

Arell is coming back.
