And with this, the first arc of The Hungry Stars draws to a close. The second will begin with Chapter 13 as events continue to unfurl (and later unravel). In this chapter, we have the long-awaited face-to-face meetings between the Triquetran League and the remnants of the United Earth Confederacy. Grace and Allyria are first to get their questions in, and Keating and his people are only too happy to answer them. To a paraphrase a very wise man, “We’re just one big happy fleet people.”
Thanks to all my patrons and hope you enjoy!
