@pear I am having the same issue. I think it is always hard to deal with the inevitable setbacks that a sequel always seems to present. (See Ghostbu...

Ok, but I'd ask 'Why go to another galaxy?' The space that FS covers is immense, but its still a tiny fraction of the size of this galaxy! The best ...

I wouldn't identify it as a gap, so much, as changing tastes coming to the fore. The Expanse is so totally different than the older material such as ...

Melanie, don't you go bringin' "Science" into this here thang. We likes thangs the way they is. 🙂 Seriously, I like the factual approach you take...

Did you see SpaceX now has prices for not only their rockets to orbit (low earth or Geosynchronous) but now also prices to Mars?

I agree with the closest matchup is Jung separatist castes, but... could it be rogues from the PC? Just trying to round out the speculation...

Tech level in the story at hand is an interesting rathole to go down, IMHO. My little girl is watching Brady Bunch re-runs, but I remember those time...

Four Isles (Can I call you that? We've communicated long enough that I feel empowered to use a diminutive as opposed to the full 'Islands') you consis...

I totally disagree with you, Sir Four Islands. A gentleman should refrain from invoking his masculine abilities whenever possible. Although, a good...

I think it is not about "Cloaking" so much as a reduction in range and reflected radiation, and in generated radiation. A reduction in radiation is l...

Ryk has written that this was the first book he wrote, and that it was replaced in his brain with the later events that became the FS. Not sure if he...

Nothing like a little passive-agressive nudge in the morning, eh? lol Yeah, the path that leads to is a little odd. locally released content basica...

Hmm. Pondering what could set things off in second series. I'm thinking that without intervention that the Jung will be building a strike fleet to l...

Energy weapons have the most effective use of space. Missiles get spent, then you have to go replace them. Fighters get chewed up, and you lose some...

@MikeG I like your comment about the PC prisoner. I'd really hate to believe that was it for Tug. I truly didn't like him just giving up, and having...

ok, you know Nathan will be with a fellow Jung prisoner when the next series starts, right? like, they were cellmates, and now Nathan is hanging out ...

Super Eagles are probably overkill for close support. Did you notice the Air Force has backed away from retiring the A-10, again. Low and Slow makes...

Oh, is that what happened to the copy? I thought I read it was destroyed, which made me grimace at all the build up with no result. Seemed like a lo...

Quoting Ryk: " Even if it only works for 5-10 years, it still buys all the worlds of the Alliance time to build more ships, build defenses, and devel...

To bring up a point I mentioned earlier, I saw the same formatting problem while I was reading the end of book 14. I think it is a change made to the...

I have seen the lack of a break at least in books 14 and 15, iPad Kindle app for the most part. I'll go check other formats.

surface area of the target affects how far apart the projectiles would have to be. I don't have to hit every square inch of the adversary ship, just ...

I have read many descriptions of fixed fortifications being useless against mobile enemies. I have read all about the Maginot Line. But still... Fi...

I've had them three times, but fortunately for me they were each individuals that once they were over, I had no more for several years. Looking forwa...

I still keep on thinking the passengers on those ships would be vulnerable to the same virus that ravished Earth and older civilizations. One ship in...

I believe the name originates from the stars in the area... Penta=five.

Hey Ryk, May I ask if the first episodes are still selling? We, the addicts here, have been buying them as they come out, so the sales curve would f...

As an author, you have to have obstacles for the characters to oversome. I like the Quads too, but the reliance on ammo is a little worrying I k...

I believe Ryk said he wouldn't release cover art early anymore. One of the other forums. :-/

Yeah, there's always quibbles, but it sounds promising. Please write more!
