Other works that can be characterized in the setting are parts of the novel {{34TBC}} and the forthcoming sequels {{35SoB}} (long delayed while resolving the demanding schedules of Flint and [[David Weber]]— which delayed the whole series for several years as the {{34TBW}} sequel would have been adversely affected.) and {{35TEF}} are also believed to be set in the Eastern or East Central threads. Beginning in September 2007 Flint began the ongoing serialization of the [[The Anaconda Project]] novel which continues from where ''The Wallenstein Gambit'' left off beginning in the [[Kingdom of Bohemia]] in [[Prague]] with discussions in the early chapters about acting militarily and politically (by local {{CoC}}s[[1632 institutions#Committees of Correspondence|CoCs]]) in the east ([[Silesia]] and other outlying areas of southern [[Poland-Lithuania Commonwealth]]).

The original "working title" of ''Soldier of Bohemia'' was ''1635: King of Bohemia'', and that title and clues revealed in {{34TBC}}, which in the most part geographically can be laid in this regional setting. The solo Flint novel, [[The Anaconda Project]] (Serialized to date solely in [[the Grantville Gazettes]]) is also in the setting, and is believed to be the prequel to Soldier of Bohemia which it is speculated, will center its action on the reactions of the new king of Austria-Hungary, Ferdinand III of Austria, and his attack on Wallenstein even as he makes peace with Gustavus and the {{USE}}, or not. That coming conflict has been foreshadowed in three separate works: The Bavarian Crisis, Flint's tale in {{ROF-2}}, and in the Anaconda Project itself, where Wallenstein is strong arming the popular accidental-hero (part of ''The Wallenstein Gambit'') {{16char|Morris|Roth}} into becoming a general and heading up his army and plans in the east for he and Pappenheim expect to be busy in the south with {{16CHAR|Ferdinand III|Austria|p=Ferdinand III of Austria}}'s armies.
