I get CTS when I sit back in my chair and use the keyboard in the desk tray, but the symptoms decrease (not all the way, but it is better) when I lean...

I bought 1-6 I think, borrowed #7, then returned to buying them. There are quite a few limits on the borrow thing. We only have one actual kindle he...

Perhaps it is more that the PC doesn't have enough ties to Earth. Maybe they might like the Jung better after all. Like Americans in 1913 - The Huns...

How about the release date for Ep 15? Is that one still on as well? 😉

Thanks for recognizing that, Gary. I should have googled the exact quote to be sure. 🙂 It is really hard to say what Nathan's mindset is. I've s...

"That's nothing, back home we used to target womp rats from a T-38!" 🙂

Ryk has explained that the size of the Jung Empire in both distance and years leads to differences in capabilities of their warcraft. Some have shiel...

WANTED: Strong, capable construction engineers. Must be able to work in new, unfamiliar environments and hold breath for long periods of time. Weigh...

Yep, I think Chris has it. An uninhabited Barnard System. Great to build the industrial base, as long as you can supply organics (food) to the crews...

An Alliance requires diplomats to enforce it. There is no one outside of Tug to work the Nobles, to explain to them the benefits of assisting Earth a...

Troop Transports full of Ghatazhak! Yay! I was thinking of the Terraformer going to work on Mars, Venus, and maybe some of the larger moons.

What about a Terraformer? A ship designed to assist in terraforming a body? Not truly useful to the current battle, but it could make things interes...

So here's a plan. Write a one-off novel (not in this universe). Sell that. Don't worry about the control, just sell it to someone who can get it ma...

The fleet is secondary to getting some political victories. I hardly think the defence of the Earth qualifies, considering the destruction wrought th...

I'd rather see a napkin sketch of the Celestia and how much remains to be fitted, and then send Ryk back to the dungeon!

So Ryk, do you have any history of heart disease in your family? Drink alcohol? Smoke? Can you please turn your head and cough? Thank you.

12 of 15 coming next month, but about a year to go... Man, should I take out a life insurance policy on Ryk?

My thoughts on space ship shape is that despite the cool designs we all know and love (X-Wings, BSG, whatever) that spherical design offers the best r...

I know some don't like it, but in a universe as big as this, I would like to see some short stories in the gaps. For instance, it sounds like Episode...

I think having the excess population alive hurts, not helps. There is only so much farmland to work, and much of the distribution system for both cro...

Yeah, it surely sounds to me like the people of Earth will be subsistence farming AT BEST, and they'll be in that state for generations unless someone...

Terraforming the moon will always be problematic, because there is no iron core to create a magnetic shield. The surface will be bombarded by energet...

I don't know... Earth took quite a pasting there. It was on the edge before this book, but then the gunboats and then the battleships started glassin...

Yes, but he could STILL out-act many of today's young "stars"!

Finances. It is all about finances. I think Netflix would be an excellent choice, but to make a deal there you have to have an established productio...

Benedict is a great actor, but not macho enough for Telles. I love him in Sherlock. I think he could bring the intellect of Telles out, but the Ghat...

What about a Kamikaze Falcon? Set it for auto sequence, and bail out. Losing one Falcon is bad, but a lot less work if it takes out a whole Battle P...

Awesome! Do some more, please!

It makes sense to kill off some characters along the way, or it wouldn't be at all believable. Still, kind of a bummer. I have, at this point, no id...

Ryk, my boss will be pissed at you! My wife will be pissed off, also! Thanks! 😉
