Was wondering have you ever considered attempting to have the "Schooled in Magic" series made into a t.v. series or movie?

Christopher G. Nuttall I would love to, but so far I've had no interest.

In one of the latter Ark Royal books, a character remarks that the UK alone has 200 colonist-carriers, each one carrying a hundred thousand people. Somewhere else, I read fifty thousand people. Regardless, even if a colony transport mission can take several years, that is a lot of people to haul. How many inhabitants does the UK have to afford sending off 10-20 mln every few years? PS When will we get Heirs of Cat. 4?

Christopher G. Nuttall A lot of people . Exact number undisclosed because it might trip me up.

I don't know about a fourth Heirs. Let the publisher know if you want it.

In the afterward of Her Majestyâ€™s Warlord you discuss the tradition, now commonly known as â€˜isekai.â€� Perhaps, itâ€™s because Iâ€™m a Yank myself. A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is the book that leaps forward as the most know traveler story. Itâ€™s particularly apropos to the Schooled In universe. Hank travels to a fantastical alternate history and attempts modernize it. Wasnâ€™t Schooled influenced by it?

Christopher G. Nuttall Same tradition, but I never read Connecticut until afterwards

I have trouble envisioning what you frequently refer to as the "high orbitals". Would this be the Hill sphere? if so, that seems like a large area (or volume) to control and I wonder how the effective missel range might be related. If the Hill sphere is outside the "high orbitals" just where are those orbitals? Also, if a moon is also involved, how does that affect high orbitals? Good stories, missing a key concept.

Christopher G. Nuttall It's military slang for having control of the orbital space surrounding the planet, allowing you to drop rocks/insert troops anywhere you like without interference. The ultimate high ground, if you will.
