Ryk posted this yesterday on Amazon.
Episode 10 is in editing. Should get it back in a week or so, then off to first and second proofreaders. Hoping for early January.
I start writing #11 tomorrow.

I'm just hoping Episode 10 will have the Ghatazhak start planning to attack the Jung Battle Platform that they know is in the Alpha Centauri system. I would love to see them successfully attach that platform.
I suspect Episode 10 will be the retrieval of the Celestia and working on getting it into fighting form. I expect a lot of the Takarans will move to the Celestia to work on fixing it.
Keep up the good work Ryk!

I believe this episode will be more of a pre-battle gather all resources story.
btw, after the first part its done, i really hope we will see Josh as a Captain on his own ship after a time skip with loki as his XO and deliza as his cheng.

I imagine the "learning trust" thing as a sub-plot with someone else as Captain, and those two in new positions, all on a new ship.
My two cents on the mole is that it's not Tony but the short girl that befriended Jessica. She wanted nothing more than to join the EDF, she was using a traceable Jung weapon when Jessica found her and from what I recall Jessica told her the whole plan of their shuttle rescue from Earth.
As for taking out the Alpha Centauri battlestation and others how easy is it to create a new jump shuttle or fighter let alone a small programmable drone? Pack it with a nuke, jump in close to not be spotted on sensors, re-calculate your target, set a 3 second timer, jump the drone or fighter into or on the battlestation and nuke it. No one would know what happened. If Ethan had more jump ship resources and intel on other systems he could take all battlestations out in a week and the Jung would have bigger problems than Earth.
Mark,
Good point. That's kind of the strategy I'd envision. multiple system strikes with a jump drive would take time to figure out where/who is causing the problem so a fleet can be organized and given a destination. I really hadn't thought about the fact that the star systems would be able to revolt after knocking out a platform, but then, why not? It would also have the effect of tying down their fleet in multiple systems, which then exposes them to defeat in detail.
So we are looking at roughly 6:00 pm central time on Saturday for the release? Can't wait!
I like the cover! Is that the plasma cannons being used?
WOOHOO!!!!! EPISODE 10 OUT NOW!!!!!!!!! GET IT QUICK!!!
Got Mine!!!! Great Series.
Well I like Episode 10, just finished it.
Enjoyed reading episode 10. Went by too quickly, so I'll read it again.
I usually read though the whole series again (skimming) to get caught up, if you will, before reading the next one... I end to read a lot of books... but like Nancy... I'm gonna read it again!!! 😉
