This was followed by the February 1983, ''Analog'' publication of the ''Seeking'' novella, which ultimately became part two of the novel. Thereafter the ''Emergence'' novella appeared in an anthology called ''Children of the Future''. Both novellas also won reader's choice awards from ''Analog''. Both were nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novella in their respective years, and the novel for Best Novel in 1985. A sequel to ''Emergence,'' ''Tracking,'' was serialized in three parts, beginning in the July/August 2008 issue of ''Analog''. ''Tracking'' was continued in the September issue and concluded in the October issue of the magazine. His second novel, ''Threshold'' (ISBN 0-553-24878-2), was published as the first book in the ''To Halt Armageddon'' trilogy in 1985. The "About the Author" section of ''Threshold'' states that David is "currently working on the sequel to ''Threshold'', also to be published by Bantam",〔 to be called ''Spēcial Education'', although it has not been published to date. He stated in the afterword to the 1990 edition of ''Emergence'' that any future writing would depend upon his finances. Palmer has another completed but unpublished novel, ''Schrödinger's Frisbee,'' which is not related to either of his first two novels. Wormhole Press has been indicated as a possible publisher for the new novels and for a reprinting of both ''Emergence'' and ''Threshold''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=April 2008 Amazon.com comment on Emergence by David R.
