You get a good sense of where all the characters you’ve met in the last 15 books are going and how their lives are unfolding. But the ending of Tower of Nero leaves things in a pretty solid place. The fact that I’ve been able to get 15 books out of this tells you a lot about how deep Greek and Roman mythology is, and how much there is to it. My operating strategy from the beginning was to not hold back, to make every book as much of a thrill ride as I can. There aren’t a whole lot of corners I haven’t dusted out looking for new and interesting monsters and villains. Honestly, I’ve done Greek and Roman mythology pretty thoroughly. I’m not closing the door on telling smaller stories or one-off novels, but I don’t see any more grand adventures. I’ve pretty much gone that route and done what I wanted to. I don’t anticipate doing any more epic five-book series. Well, it’s the last book of the last series. Is The Tower of Nero really the final chapter for our heroes?
