Difference between revisions of "Adamant"

''Adamant'', previously titled "''The Lurker''", originated as a novel co-written with [[Ethan Skarstedt]], one of Brandon's friends who is in the military. They had previously worked together on the short story ''[[Heuristic Algorithm and Reasoning Response Engine]]''. The project temporarily died after Skarstedt completed a novel-length draft. [[Joshua Bilmes]] expressed the feeling that it was not currently marketable and at the time Brandon did not have the time to work on it. Some time later Brandon was interested in re-starting work on the project; however, Skarstedt was going to be unavailable as a result of being deployed overseas. Brandon then purchased the draft Skarstedt had completed as a "work-for-hire" intending to do a do a re-write.{{url ref|url=http://ethanskar.com/wordpress/books/the-lurker/|text=Ethan Skarstedt's blog|site=Ethanskar.com}} He completed a novella, renaming it ''Adamant'', and plans to work on revisions between drafts of [[Oathbringer]].{{wob ref|9178}}
