We'll see. I treat the books like a TV series with regular characters and guest spots. There's also character progression and a kind of overall arc, but it's important to me that each book can be enjoyed as a standalone.
I've had to create a huge series bible to keep track of all the planets, Hal's favourite snacks, and the people he's fallen foul of. I've stuck everything in Freemind, which is a fantastic (free) mindmapping program.
BTW if anyone reports a typo in book 1 I'll send them book 2 as a thank you.
