Eight-book main sequence
The Portal Planet novels.
The complete eight-book sequence, with the publication status of each volume shown below. Book I is published; later volumes remain in development or planned.
Book II · In Development
The Unlisted Destinations
The network expands beyond its approved map, and the convenience of instant travel collides with secrecy, unauthorized routes, and control.
Book III · In Development
The Severed Worlds
A mature portal civilization discovers how dependent it has become when routes fail, cities isolate, and geography returns without warning.
Book IV · In Development
Terminal Infinity
The far-gate era carries the portal network beyond Earth, where expansion magnifies every unresolved question of safety, governance, access, and human purpose.
Book V · Planned
The Outer Gates
Portal civilization pushes beyond the familiar network as new frontier gates turn remote worlds and strategic outposts into reachable places—and force humanity to decide what expansion is for.
Book VI · Planned
The Star Roads
Off-world routes become infrastructure, linking settlements, science, resources, trade, and people across a network that no longer ends at one planet.
Book VII · Planned
The Seeded Stars
Permanent communities take root beyond Earth. Reaching other worlds gives way to the harder work of building cultures, institutions, ecosystems, and obligations that can endure there.
Book VIII · Planned
The Human Constellation
A network of worlds becomes a civilization in its own right, forcing the main sequence to ask what still binds humanity together when geography no longer does.
Books I–IV use the supplied front covers; Books V–VIII show the supplied planned-volume artwork.
Technical companions · New concept art
The engineering view.
New cover concepts and a service-bay visualization establish the direction for the planned illustrated handbook and operations manual.
Illustrated companion · Planned
Technology Handbook
A richly illustrated reference to the machines, science, terminals, and infrastructure behind the eight-book series.
Target: approximately 500 pages in hardcover, with an ebook edition. Final format and publication date to be announced.

Designing the details
Hardware with a working life.
The companion art emphasizes service access, replaceable modules, control stations, and human scale: the practical details that make a fictional system feel inhabited.

Concept art informs the world; it does not prove the mechanism.
These images establish visual language, scale, human experience, and production-design direction for websites, documents, presentations, CGI, and screen adaptation.
