I've gotten some email about this so I wanted to post a quick update... The book is in the final stages of being edited. I hate to predict when it will be published but it is moving along. It's a little less like the first book. The "style" is the same and I believe it "works" like V1 did, however, there are just so many more new facts that it is definitely going to require several reads through. Its about twice the size of V1 as well which is why I had to stop and did not include the J.J. Faulkner material I have.
Part of the reason it got so big was that I took the advice given me here so thank you. That was to add in the supplemental information and/or backstories as it relates to the topic or personalities covered. I do find that interesting myself, and I also believe it highlights certain points that I make. For example, I've seen many debates where some might suggest certain things would never occur. What I did was add in examples to show that it not only could but actually had occurred. Now keep in mind that I only know this from researching this case, and had I expanded my search to find examples they would probably be too many to count.
Anyway, I've already drawn up my outline for V3 so that is definite. There may be enough new material after that for a V4 but its hard for me to predict, and I guess it all depends on how V2 is received, and if I can fit everything I'd like to in V3.
So get ready for "Experts" who have never been to the Archives to tell everyone I'm "wrong" and that the documentation they've never read does not say what it does. For those who like the historical accounts I recommend reserving a "safe space" now.
