Forgive me not responding earlier, but as Charlie mentioned, I was in Seattle at Galacticon, and I've just got back to the UK. Jet lag is more or less contained now. More or less!
The Taking Shield series will be either 5 or 6 books long - depending on how long book 5 turns out to be and where I can, reasonably, cut it. There's a lot to cover in it, but it looks like it may be one of those odd animals that will make either one very long book or two unsatisfying shorter ones. Believe me, I am glaring at the first drafts and swearing a lot. The third book, Makepeace, will be published next January, and I'm currently finalising book 4, The Chains of Their Sins which should be out sometime next July. So realistically, the series won't end until 2017 sometime.
