Does anyone know who is penning the next upcoming DL books?

I also looked up on Amazon.com the cover art and synopsis of the upcoming books not yet posted on this site, and the DL End Program sounds and looks very interesting. Ryan's eye finally gets repaired?!

He had a chance to do that twice now. First in the Anthill with Ellis's first DL book, and then Helfer's latest book. I found it odd and kinda stupid that Ryan didn't get this done. Even though the writers never explore this, his having only one eye would be a serious detriment in combat situations. Having such a blind spot would always put you at risk.

But, it is one of those 'signature items' that can't be changed, much like their weaponry and clothing. Which has hardly changed.

What do you fans say? Would you like to see Ryan's eye repaired?
