I want it Right first. Right now second. (Right this second)

I liked it better with we had a month for release dates... but slippage is a big problem with that and I understand and am disappointed that the world is the way it is... but hopefully Scott with stop the Jung from hitting us like that anymore...

I don’t want to know the estimate date of the release of the next episode… While I understand the publishing process, it’s been a torture, I’d rather receive good news of the release in a surprise e-mail than knowing an approx date and not getting it… I know it will be soon, but that doesn’t help to calm down my anxious browsing between this site and Amazon’s…
(I’m not blaming Ryk, I know all his typing struggles, the plot changes and all the proofreading issues, I’d wait for the e-mail a year instead of refreshing the home page every hour to see if the countdown shows up…)

I agree whole heartedly. In fact, for me, I don’t even want to see a ticker anymore. Just get there one day (or get an email) and BAM new episode. Just me $.02

Yeah, no ticker, no approx date at all! Just "Coming soon" will do.

The issue with the notification e-mail is that it does not always work. I have missed in the bliss some release dates because I was just waiting for the e-mail to arrive and it never did. When I visited this site I realized that Ep X was already read by some...
Therefore, I keep visiting... but I will try to visit only once per day from now on...

Alas, I would love to get an update on the release of episode 13. Seems it has been very quiet on the delivery of this episode.

Should be soon as its already been sent to editing. I personally can't wait this is by far my all time favorite series. The wait for the second series is going to be a long wait as he is going to delay them till he has a few done to give him some padding and to better schedule releases. All I know is I'll happily wait as Ryk does an outstanding job and it is well worth the wait.

Agreed, all my impatience is worth the story. I think it happens because Ryk is a lot more vocal with his readers so we are more involved, at least emotionally, with the process. And the second part will be hard to wait for but i think that building up the buffer is the smartest and best thing to do for him and us. I just want to know which of the 22 different possibilities in my head for the spy is right, or if its out of left field!

Hi all,

Did you guys read the latest log ( https://www.frontierssaga.com/log-entry-6/) from Mr. Brown?

IMHO, every time we write something here asking for delivery date just adds pressure to him and frustration to us. I, as all of you, want to get my copy of the new book ASAP but I know that I prefer to wait a little more and get a well written book with all details tied up than hurry Mr. Brown and make him make mistakes to please us.

I'm sure that the delay is due to some rework he decided to add, something that will add more suspense to the story.

Hey people let's stop bugging Mr. Brown with release dates. I'm sure he wants to release the books as fast as we want to read it.

Personally, I think that we should banish this kind of thread. It only server to put pressure to Mr. Brown and/or frustration to us all.

Mr. Brown was kind enough to let us discuss other readings while we wait his books. Why not share our experiences and discuss the series instead of bug him?

Cheers

Hey Hans,

Thank you for the info. Sometimes we focus on this thread to the detriment of our sanity. Frankly, I wasn't reading Ryk's logs, rather I was simply coming to this and looking for info. My bad! It is often hard to wait when you are so involved in a story line and want the next crumbles of information. I must apologize to Ryk for being so impatient. You point out truthfully that we put pressure on Ryk and we should be spanked and sent to the corner for that. I personally ask forgiveness from Ryk and will (as a penance) go back an reread all 12 episodes over the next 2 weeks. Perhaps we should all take a self imposed reread time to give Ryk some space. Time to go to Kindle and start over! Again, Ryk our sincere apologies, relax, ride your bkike, spend some time with the family and ignore all of the impatient readers of an excellent line.

Your impatient reader,

Mark

Robert Jordan’so wheel of time… started reading it at book 3… The author died at book 10. It’s been finished since by a different author, but I spent a good 10+ years with 2 years worrying that it wouldn’t happen. The original author was diagnosed with a brain condition where he was forgetting stuff while still early on in the books. Apparently it started as a trilligy ended up 13 books… so I get what your saying Justin… but still awesome to be getting new content so rapidly from Rye!!! And I can wait but I choose not too ;p

Gee, I read David Gerrold's "War Against the Chtorr" five part series, except he got writers block after releasing book 4. He's written a number of novels since, plus written and produced TV, etc. and has kept himself busy. But no book 5...

It seems that the Takarans decided to build a new asteroid base at Ceres.... 😀

Seriously: I just read at Fox News site: MYSTERY LIGHT - NASA craft's images show bright spot on dwarf planet

The link to NASA JPL: 'Bright Spot' on Ceres Has Dimmer Companion

Nice text and it made me think about something else: What about friction? I didn't make a research on the subject but I came with a quite interesting hypothesis: Despite the fact that space doesn't have air, if a micrometeorite hits a spaceship it an opposite direction it will certainly slow down the ship by some pico something. How many micrometeorites exists in a given path and how much can they compromise the ship's integrity and velocity?

Hell space travel is quite a defy. 🙂

I haven't researched it a lot either but given what i have read, I would have to say it would compromise the integrity and alter a ships course quite a bit but only depending on which direction it hits from and what in side the ship it hits. For example if it hits a fuel tank it could cause and explosion which would damage as well as alter the ships course. If it punctures enough decks and causes those decks to loose atmosphere then the crew is screwed. Or it could hit the ship pass through and cause nothing but superficial damage. I don't know there are way to many possibilities such as speed of the ship and/or micrometerorite are they going the same direction or opposite directions, etc

I would love to see a jump missile armed with a nuke or anti matter, but until that is developed, just have a falcon jump under the sheild, drop a anti matter core with a timed detonator, jump out and BOOM. If target is not destroyed, there sure will be a massive hole in its shield. And in its hull.
