@reedsian5399Hi Allen, that's very good of you to say! I'd be delighted for you to read Colony; it was a B&N bestseller the day after publication, and was even the #1 action and adventure title at one point. I can have a copy sent to you if you let me know a mailing address. My email address is: benjamincross.author@gmail.com Love to hear your thoughts! Best wishes, Ben👍

@reedsian5399Hi Allen, good to hear from you and thanks for your message! Yeah, I'm pretty certain it would; I've been overwhelmed by the response it's had so far, and the idea that it's a cinematic concept and would make a good series/feature is a common theme within the feedback. One of the main things I'd aimed for was to get the right sort of plot-character balance, which (while I'm no expert) would seem to be an important factor for a good feature too. In terms of inspiration, I'd have to say: my career in archaeology, paired with a love of all things high-octane and escapist! I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a fan of JP too;) Ben
