By the same token, though, a different source has spoken of plans to continue the Dahak series beyond the extant trilogy, while I'm of the opinion that there's no need to do so. Sure, I guess the way that ended is kind of open to a sequel, but it also works just fine as something that could rationally remain an open question. However, I also know fans who see the ending of the third book as a nail-biting cliffhanger. (Avoiding spoilers, asking a question in no way obligates the universe to give you an answer.)

What wikipedia has to say on it:
Future novels[edit]
Both John Ringo and David Weber have said that they plan on writing more Empire of Man novels, Ringo going so far as to reveal that, after We Few, three more books have been contracted for the series.[4] Weber has yet to produce a formal outline for the subsequent novels, but has stated that he will not be continuing the Prince Roger storyline. Instead the novels will be prequels, focusing on Roger's ancestor, Miranda McClintock.[5]
Despite Weber's earlier statements, several months later John Ringo spoke out about a possible new plan for continuing the series. If David Weber agreed, the next book to be published would take up right where the last book "We Few" left off.[6] Since then three "snippet" chapters of an untitled "Empire of Man 5" novel have been posted, continuing the Prince Roger storyline.
