13, 14, then 15... Final episode of this cycle. Man, it is going to be epic! I've noticed the word count going up, up, up. Ryk is trying to stuff m...

Been re-reading book 3. Looks like Ryk setup a possible love interest for Nathan, called "Cassandra Evans". Do a quick search and you'll see the che...

In one sense, the data in the cores is 1000 years out of date. Part of the reason the PC is thriving is that they continued civilization forward after...

Steve Gibson of Spinrite fame uses a human gal that is very good to transcribe his weekly podcast. details at GRC.com/SN (Security Now! podcast). I'...

Thanks McDiel for the recommendation for Peter F. Hamilton. I have been meaning to read at least one of his books for a long time. So here's what ha...

She's the Jung Leader, to be revealed in Episode 15. 😉

I wonder if Ryk would provide a status update, so we don't get too anxious...

Yeah, Greg. Seems like the Moon Base is similar to the Karuzara. They can't move (downside), but they have unlimited potential as a shooting base (u...

Hmm. Reading Aidan's post, I am thinking of a tunnelling missile. Just shoot it through an enemy big ship, to displace a cylinder of material. That ...

If the future were a linear line from here to there, then the future would be incredibly automated. Robot ships launched from a planet to go find the...

aw hell, Ryk. Just throw 'em out there. We need 13, 14 & 15 now!

Hmm. I am 51 and also was raised on the classics. I hope this doesn't cover Ryk's core demographic, though. I'd like to think he also appeals to th...

Tomcat, I LOVE your analysis. Keep 'em coming. It looks like you are crediting 1/2 B/P to each of Aurora and Celestia, but that only adds up to 1 B/...

Let’s hope the data ark gives the Alliance some new tech advantages because they don’t have the time to build more ships although with Captain Nash’s ...

As a former US Marine, the question of loyalty seems like an old one to me. You may have heard us use the phrase "Loyal to God, Country, Corps." If ...

Tug should announce: "And my family has opened up tourism packages, available to all Takarans, using my personal ships. See Terra, the home of us all...

Similar story. Hmm, I think the new book comes out next week, so let me check the forums for the latest wild guesses... WTH? Oh man, I am not sleepi...

Found four small typos. You'll get them shortly. More concerning is the story refinements you've made as the series has grown. I'd like it if you to...

I think the spy will be the Lt. Commander (now commander) that they picked up on the Celestia. He always struck me as weaselly. Looking forward to s...

Ryk has inspired me to begin writing again. I started dumping my universe building notes and I filled many pages. The exercise really made me curiou...

For those that follow it, John Scalzi's 'Old Man's War' series was being turned into a movie. Not any more. Now someone else is turning it into a TV...

I keep one thing foremost in my mind here: Books and TV/Movies are a different media. What works in one doesn't always translate well. They are just...

Cool weapons. I just wish we had the appropriate wisdom about how to use them. (sigh)

Thanks for your email. There are various factors that might cause you to have problems with the player: - Internet / network problems: If you could ...

The comments section is all about logging in with FB, which I refuse to do. I found a "Report a bug" section, though, so I reported it. Damn flash-l...

I can't get the damn audio to play. Chrome on Win7-64. Pretty common config, I would think. Are there any alternate sources, or direct downloads?

I love Silent Running. Makes me cry every time. I just showed it to my daughter last year. She thought I was nuts, but I love it still.

Considering this is what pays the bills now, invest in a professional to come evaluate your work area. A small adjustment may save you hours of pain....

Right there with ya, Mike G. 🙂 Space is big, really big, but since the Aurora was drawn towards a ZPED across 1000 light years, and since they hav...

The initial conditions meant that Nathan had no real commitment to defend Tanna. Now he has not only the ability (sort of) but the desire, since 100,...
