Nah. A chapter or two at most. I have no patience for oppressors. There are too many of them in RL, I don't want to read their justifications in my...

Admittedly I am probably not reading it right, but if the internal space has time and the outer space doesn't, then the ship can travel without time p...

Minor but annoying typos in the Author page if I could put out three of four more episodes should be if I could put out three or four more episodes ...

"No worries" said the crack addict waiting for his fix. 😉 I have always been amazed at how fast you put them out so far. Good work ethic shines...

Writing 11? I thought you would have 11 in the proofreader's hands by now, and perhaps even be finishing 12. Shoot.

Hey Ryk, do you use Twitter? That would be a good way to announce something like a new book or a new diagram going up. I searched and found three tw...

Not bad. Of course it all springs from Ryk's brain, so he can make it do anything he wants, but that seems to match the facts as laid down so far. T...

Gary, that guy on her ankle wasn't a guy - that was the killer robot from the previous chapter! Remember him sharpening his blades on the skull of th...

@Nuc: Yeah, but venting the whole flight deck and hangars to space, killing the Corainari, Marcus, Josh and Loki, well, that was just like kicking a p...

Wow, I had no idea that Cam was actually a hidden Princess of Earth, and was now Nathan's boss! That was a real surprise! Also that part where the C...

I just was re-watching the 2000s Battlestar Galactica series. It reminded me how immediate and interesting that style of representing space flight is...

I just wanted to say Welcome, Tomcat. A well researched post. I don't have any answers myself, as we have talked about this stuff ad-naseum. I imag...

Gary, a related question might be "lens flare or no lens flare?" 😉

The idea of jacking up the cost of the last book came to me after seeing the ebook "How to avoid huge ships". It was priced at $150!

I'm not sure there, Nuc. I was saying that: Book 1 comes out, I read it. Book 2 comes out, I read book 1 then book 2. Book 3 comes out, I read book ...

The time to read each book PLUS the entire series up to that episode sounds like a factorial. I, for one, look forward to occupying my drab and drear...

So that means the last book in this cycle (#15) will drop near the beginning of 2015. Ryk has been kind to us so far, pricing the books at a very rea...

huh. Not sure what to think here. I just read that John Scalzi's Redshirts is being adapted into a miniseries. Great read, lots of fun, and still m...

Steve & Eric G. - "The Martian" is one of those that stays with you. Some things are bubblegum, fun but forgettable. Some stick deep in the inne...

Frank - Brilliant! I knew there was some way to replicate the attack on the Jung battleship without risking the Aurora! Separate the ship carrying t...

I imagine the problem would be intensified in space. If you are attracted to huge ships at sea in two dimensions, then you'd probably be attracted to...

LOL! The book reviews on that one are hilarious!

Naw, Netflix. That way we could consume the episodes like we consume these books. 😉

Star Geezer, good observations. I meant to go back and do that ship count myself. Also, I think there was a brief mention by the Falcon seeing that ...

What about a Nathan Body Count? Do you count the millions in Perth and other cities, or on Corinair? Maybe a bad guy Body Count... Speaking of whic...

Yeah, Nuc, it sounds like the Jung "Standing Orders" would prevent most of the local Commanders from following that directive, anyway. They'd be afra...

I like the way you think, Gary. Kind of Ghatazhak-like. Find the most efficient means to the end and pursue that. Somehow I don't think Ryk will go...

Hmmm. Very cool level of detail, Ryk. Thanks! I (also) always wondered why the Battle Platform didn't join the fight, but just showed up later. An...

Glenn, Good point. Also, the split in half Cruiser should provide redundant copies of much of that info as well. If there were any kind of rotati...

I was thinking of that also. A set of a few jump-enabled recon ships would really help the Alliance's war efforts. They need to monitor Jung fleet a...
