IT MIGHT ALREADY BE AVAILABLE TO YOU IF YOU’RE ON THE EAST COAST:  No Man’s Land: Volume 3 (Chronicles of Lost Elly).  With this the whole book is out, finally, and I understand “Tolkien problems” (I.e. book too big to print in one volume.)  My first readers don’t advise buying it and reading it right now, unless you have to be up all night for some reason.

Charlie Martin’s review (because the most comprehensive.)

Volume 3
Skip’s idea of crisis management?
Stress baking. While he’s kneading away his anxiety, Eerlen Troz is fighting for his life—and his unborn child’s—in an ancient and familiar battle.
When saving Eerlen’s life requires forging an unexpected blood brotherhood, it creates something neither person anticipated: a memory bond between two worlds.
Through shared consciousness, they uncover a conspiracy that threatens not just Elly, but the entire Star Empire.
The plot runs deeper than anyone imagined. Lives, fortunes, and freedom itself hang in the balance. But exposing the truth means surviving long enough to tell it—and their enemies have other plans. Two minds. One mission. A universe-spanning conspiracy that someone will kill to protect.
When the fate of worlds rests on an unlikely brotherhood forged in blood and baked goods.
