As fans of W. Michael Gear’s Donovan novels have long known, it was inevitable that The Corporation would eventually send someone to the titular planet to reaffirm control of their errant colony. Which is finally happening in Reckoning (hardcover, Kindle), the sixth Donovan novel. But as fans of these sci-fi adventure novels also know — and as Gear affirms in the following email interview — nothing on Donovan ever goes to plan.
With the release of Adrift (hardcover, Kindle, audiobook), writer W. Michael Gear is continuing the Donovan series of sci-fi adventure stories he began in 2018 with Outpost. In the following email interview, Gear not only discusses “what” inspired and influenced this fifth installment, but “who” as well.
While some writers have day jobs to make ends meet, others have day jobs that meet with their writing. And no, not for coffee and small talk. Take science fiction writer W. Michael Gear, who — in the following email interview about his new novel Unreconciled (hardcover, Kindle), the fourth in his Donovan series — discusses how his work as an archeologist informed this sci-fi adventure story.
