    John Leibee did an interview on Late Night Wargame, here's the video and an AI summary of what he said (I've done a partial reread, so there may be some mirages.).


    Late Night Wargames - Episode 128: Infinity Author John Leibee!



    Summary by Aleph's AI subroutines
    00:45:22 - Feature - Airaghardt They begin the main discussion with John Leibee about his latest novel "Airaghardt", set in the Infinity universe. They talk about the writing process, the collaboration with Corvus Belli, the characters, the themes, and the book's inspirations. They ask John Leibee questions about his career as an author, his literary influences, his advice for aspiring writers, and his future projects.

    John Leibee talks about how he started writing in the Infinity universe. He was then approached by Corvus Belli to write a full-length novel, resulting in "Airaghardt".

    He explains the writing process, which took around two years. He had to do a lot of research into the Infinity universe, consulting rulebooks, faction profiles, wiki articles, and forums. He also benefited from the support and advice of Corvus Belli, who provided him with additional information, constructive feedback, and illustrations from books. He says he appreciated the creative freedom he was given, while respecting Infinity's canon and spirit.

    He talks about the book's main characters, describing their personalities, motivation and evolution. He says he wanted to create engaging, complex and diverse characters who represent different facets of the Infinity universe. He reveals a few anecdotes about the creation of the characters.

    He discusses the book's main themes, such as the discovery of an aliens and its implications. He says he wanted to explore the philosophical, ethical and religious questions raised by this situation. He also wanted to show the political, economic and military conflicts taking place in Airaghardt, between the various human factions coveting the planet's resources and secrets. Finally, he says he wanted to create an atmosphere of tension, suspense and terror, using elements of horrific science fiction. He also discusses the book's inspirations.

    He answers questions from hosts Adam and John about his journey as an author, his literary influences, his advice for budding writers, and his future plans. He says he started writing as a child, making up stories with his toys. He says he was influenced by authors such as J.R.R. Tolkien. He encourages aspiring authors to read a lot, write regularly, have their work proofread and persevere. He says he has several ideas for writing other novels or short stories in the Infinity universe, but also in other genres such as fantasy, detective or thriller.

    He concludes by thanking the hosts for their invitation, expressing his gratitude to Corvus Belli for their trust and collaboration, and inviting listeners to read his book "Airaghardt", available in hard copy or digital version on the Corvus Belli website1 or on Amazon2. He says he hopes readers will enjoy his book and share their opinions and questions with him. He also says he is available on social networks like Facebook3, Twitter4, or Instagram5 to exchange with his fans. He says he's delighted to have taken part in the show, and wishes everyone a good evening.

    I have refund his artwork.

    Oh, boy. That AI excerpt dives into the realm of total fiction just about halfway through sentence 3. Unless I wrote 'Betrayal of the Brotherhood' and 'The Cost of Greed' in my sleep, or something?

    Also-- I have a son?!

    And you didn't read the first version, which said you'd done the Betrayal story and were going to do a kickstarter this autumn. :sweat_smile:

This one is called Chronicles of the Human Sphere: Unintended Consequences, by Jeremy Breckbill, no release date announced and not on Amazon for the moment, but there's a product sheet with the publisher's summary.

    This week I've seen quite a bit of content around Winged Hussar, I haven't seen anything yet but there might be some content related to the futures infinity novels.


    WHP have launched a podcast channel, hosted by Mark Barber who wrote Downfall.
    https://whpubcast.podbean.com/


    Corvus Belli wrote an interview article with WHP:

    With the latest Edge update, you can read pdf files in your own language. I tested it with Team Zell, which I converted, and the result is decent from English to French, especially when you're too lazy to read in English. For the moment I don't have the impression that there's a limit to the size of the translation we're allowed to use, but according to copilot for the moment microsoft doesn't limit its translation tool like deepl does.

    I'm not usually a fan of the dematerialized format, but for foreign-language reading, it's a strong point.

    John Leibee, who has written the new and third novel to be released this month: Airaghardt, also keeps a blog with sample chapters if you want a preview before you buy, and most recently there's this post for the launch of his novel.

    Here is his blog:
    https://johnleibee.wordpress.com/

    You'll find various things on his blog, like this article on the English pronunciation of some of the terms in the novel:
    - AIRAGHARDT: PRONUNCIATION PET PIAMHS
    (There's no article link function on his blog, so you'll have to scroll)

    I just finished the book. It was super enjoyable and I also liked that this book was written from a sole perspective. It was great to learn more about Caledonia.

    They all are doing a great job expanding the Infinity Universe. I am really looking forward to the Haqqislam book!

    Mark Barber has some news about his novel.


    FYI, I haven't touched my profile, so it looks like at some point there was an update on the forum that removed mp's from our accounts, you should check your profiles.
