Political and Military leaders are generally very different types of people, with very different training and experience. When you put a Politician i...

Possibly reading from Part 2 on? Its not the ideal way to start reading a saga...

great little asides from the main saga. I don't think I came across that name in the main sage.

Yip, Guy on Scout ship, was the last person to be alone with the jump sub before they all got on board. We know that the nanites were involved, but I ...

Scott senior isn't a fool. If he has spoken to Scott and Jess, he knows what they sent to Gillardi was not what Gillardi gave to the Alliance council....

Gillardi has evidence that Miri was involved in espinage, maybe not the full video messages from Nathan/Connor but he knows she got something and that...

Yeah, The Jung are not shown in a good light. In saying that, I can think of a few countries that have leaders with lesser Morals and a population tha...

And finished! 15 chapters, love it!!! another great read Ryk! Very hard to sleep with all that page turning! I really liked the extra detail on the PC...

That would be pretty sweet. It might also work as the big bad dread ship of the series that hunts down the rebel fleet... it might have significantly...

It would make sense to keep it to the Aurora, the Tanna, and a few cobra's, adding the Battleship would add a lot of firepower to the fleet but betwee...

I Think that the Dushan used there oldest most broken down ships to set off a confrontation between the Jung and the Allianc, while using their best t...

Thanks Gary! Very insightful stuff!
