The Seasoning continues the story started with Foothold, picking up just before the starship Inspiration arrives at Serendipity. Hope comes in many forms. +++ Interview with the author Is this the original edition? No, it was professionally re-edited in August 2016. How would you describe The Seasoning? Book 2 in the Foothold series picks up the story sixteen years later. This time adversity and conflict follow in the wake of the Inspiration’s arrival. Will there be a cliff-hanger? The ending is left open for the next book, but I won’t leave you hanging. How many books to come? The series will have eight or nine books in three broad arcs. The Seasoning is the middle book of the Serendipity arc. If it were a movie, how would you rate it? PG-13 for language and sexual references. less
