I picked up your book quite by chance - there was a '3 books for the price of 2' offer, and I needed a third book. Needless to say, there was no regrets and I've since bought Dragonfly Falling and Blood of the Mantis. Thanks for sharing your craft and vision, and also for the effort you've been putting into these books :) Hi Mr Tchaikovsky,

I have to admit I was a bit cautous reading Empire of Black and Gold as it is so different from what I normally enjoy. I even remember thinking before I really got into it that I may have wasted my money. But the pace picked up reaally fast and I was hooked. Now I can't wait for the next one and hope you do write 10, and there are very few writers that I enjoy that much. Cheers and keep up the excelent work. Fantastic.

I got Dragonfly in Seville, in one of the airport shops and I devoured it in less than 5 hours. The pace is good and I love the multitudinary battles at the end of the book. I keep thinking there are many similarities with the Eberron campaign setting from Dungeons and Dragons but the insect approach is something completely new. I hope I get third book soon, and keep writing, Mr. Tchaikovski, you've got in me a faithful reader. Hi again, Mr. Tchaikovsky.

I just read all three books in about a week and a half (pausing only to work, sleep, and to humour my girlfriend ;-) ). Amazing. As with Zeneth, i came to my local bookstore in Brussels searching for a comic book, but as usual i went browsing through the english fiction section. And I noticed the wonderful covers. A quick read of the summary, and some strolling on random pages located at the beginning of the book (my typical tactic to check whether i could like it) and off i was with all 3 books... Awaiting VERY eagerly the next installment. Mister Czajkowski, Sir, you have another fan to add to the, without any doubt, exponentially growing fanbase :-D Steven Wow.

Ideally I'd like the series to run to 10. Up to at least book 6, they'll be coming out at 6 monthly intervals. Ideally I'd like the series to run to 10.

I was wondering how many books you are releasing to complete the series, I originally thought it was going to be three. How long have I got to wait for the next instalment?

Beetles, however, have no particular Art that they uniformly display. Spiders are the same.
