How did you like that last one? I think the third is out this summer.

Hey, drneutron! Sorry for the delay in reply - it's been a hectic few weeks! About "Cold Copper," that is the third one. The first two are "Dead Iron" and "Tin Swift." I liked all three of them quite a bit, but I think CC is my favorite. In that one, you've met all of the main characters and they've taken their places in the cosmos of the series. Thus, the reader is able to appreciate their relationships to each other and enjoy the intricacies of the plot even more so than in the first two.
