I could have published it, but I didn't and here's why . . .

There are readers out there who have waited patiently for Alexander to wrap things up with the Methuselans for quite some time now--a year. That's a long time, I know, but this time I was certain I had a really good chance at hitting my April 15th deadline. I didn't. No excuses. Destroyer simply wasn't ready. It was done but not ready. I wasn't happy with it, my editor wasn't happy with it. I couldn't put my finger on it; it was just missing--something. So I let it sit for a few weeks and addressed some of the editor's major concerns. Of course that led me in different directions, good ones, don't get me wrong. With that reality Destroyer bloomed.
For those of you who read my other genres you'll have noticed something similar in the final installment of the To Kill Is Not Enough espionage thrillers. Mahdi topped out at 750 pages. I could have, should have divided it but I couldn't find a natural break, there wasn't one.
I didn't plan it this way but Destroyer broke in two because of the sheer weight and because it truly became two different books. That means good news and bad news.
The bad news is you're going to have to wait until Destroyer for the resolution of the Methuselan Invasions. Lahora, Zom and the gang were simply too tough to put away in the 9th round.
The good news is that Destroyer will follow soon after Enigma, within two months, so you won't have to wait all that long.

The bottom line is simple: I'm not going to put out a book until its ready. I do care what my readers think of these works. If you're reading Destroyer then you've slogged through all of Alexander's adventures to do so. I will give you your money's worth. Destroyer caused me problems from the beginning and I'm not about to put it out to my readers in any format I am not satisfied with. Enigma and Destroyer will get done and they will worth the wa, you have my word on it.
