After some thought and input from other people, I’ve made the decision. The X5 spaceship will be renamed Ardenna, after the genus of migratory birds that travel further than any other.

My series of books will be called:

The Ardenna Crossing

The first book will be

Book 1: Between Two Worlds

The sequel, currently underway, will be:

Book 2: A Thousand White Fragments

I’m really happy to have come to a decision and to have retained my original idea albeit with an additional word that adds what I feel is a mystical, exotic element. The ship gains a little bit more of an identity of its own, too.

My next step is artwork for the cover. Watch this space for more details over the coming weeks.

Thanks for reading, and for all the input I got from you after putting all my suggestions out there last Friday.
