Which country?

I would also expect to see Jung Nanites being adjusted to kill all/most infected if they do not detect signals beamed by BP’s for over 24 hours. Th...

The Takaran system is home to roughly 40 billion people. All of them have access to advanced communications networks and live on highly industrialize...

I think they just bleneded into the crew, helping to make it a mix of all thew representative cultures. Terran, Takaran, Coronari, Havenite, and now ...

I guess I see the Takarans as kind of Japan or Soviet Union to the Jung's Nazis. Allied as one until one of them stabs the other one in the Ukraine.....

I was pondering Part Two, and the size of the galaxy, when my iPod started playing this Monte Python song. It helps to set the size and scale of the ...

Does anyone else think the Takarans may gift the jump tech to the Jung in order to form an alliance of their own? This seems like the likeliest way t...

Sounds a lot like the Replicators on SG-1. It seems there is a lot left to explain about the nanites. Jung nanites, Coranairian nanites, ancient pre...

Got the email, and bought it last night. I had to laugh while reading the first paragraphs, since I felt (and voiced my opinion) that the Alliance pe...

For me, to avoid Carpal Tunnel getting worse, I had to make sure my arms are supported. No floating keyboard, no keyboard on the edge of my desk, and...

Kinesis Advantage sounds helpful. Glad you found something that works for you.

@mrfrost - I utterly disagree with your utter disagreement. See Uber's current problems.

wow, I wonder what the multiple is on that. $0.00002/page read?

In the words of Captain Spock, it has always been easier to destroy than to create.

Again, Jump Tech as laid out here makes an object travel along its previous path. That would mean you could make a planet jump further away from its ...

And the next episode is... "The strong and the pungent"? "The masculine and the guilty"? "The other weak and the not-so-innocent"?

heh. Just a note: I am fine with the piecemeal distribution. No problems with that part. And I always appreciate efforts to stretch in an artistic ...

Ok, I have to say it - I didn't care for it. (commence beatings) I also didn't like the flashback book, where Ryk reviewed the dealings on Earth. F...

One of my favorite books ever (The Martian by Andy Weir) has been in progress of having a movie made, and the first trailer just came out. I know tha...

Sorry, Ryk, but the proofreaders need to step up their game. Netcast Zero location 217 or pretty close after that, character Arielle's name gets spel...

I like the high-C sand idea simply because it is broader in targeting profile, so it could be used more easily when targeting ships that may want to m...

Ehhh... I am not a fan of this idea. I mean, it sounds cool, but since the direction of a jump follows the path of travel before the jump, that mean...

I'm still thinking the original virus has yet to make a re-occurrence. Several of these colonies were launched before the virus hit their systems, so...

The BS extending its shields seems like such an obvious move, after watching these capitol ships doing so for the last year, that I really have troubl...

Ok, I have been mulling over episode 13. Like several of you, the loss of the scout ship with an intact jump drive rubbed me the wrong way. Even if ...

Hans, I am a former U.S. Marine, and I think I am as patriotic as anyone, but more importantly I believe in freedom. Freedom for the individual trans...

I'm late to the game, because of vacation plans and a leisurely re-read of 1-12. I agree with many of the critiques of book 13 so far. I found mysel...

Interesting idea. I'll have to see how these other authors pan out.

Book 6 location 6175 - "“Several of the pilots report seeing chutes, but no one could confirm that of the pilots that ejected had made it safely to th...

Book 6 location 6020 - "Six fighters had been lost attempting to destroy the palace’s anti-aircraft defenses, and the attack had only resulted in the ...
