Children of Heaven: Choir of Silence, Chapter 34

Natalya’s comm pinged. “Commodore Archer,” she answered crisply as she took it out of her breast pocket. “Sorry to disturb you, commodore. This is Lieutenant Jeffers in the War Room.

The Last Angel: The Hungry Stars, Chapter 31

We’re back with a new addition to The Hungry Stars. In this chapter, the (attempted) escape from Nibiru is still on its way. An escape is usually easier when you have an APC and your opponents don’t. And they aren’t willing (yet) to just hit you with a rocket, but ‘easier’ is relative. There’s still… Continue reading The Last Angel: The Hungry Stars, Chapter 31

My patrons keep voting for it, so the hits just keep coming. More Hungry Stars, with the situation on and above Nibiru taking a turn for the worse (that pun will hit you shortly). Three cruisers are prepared to shoot Lakhesis out of the sky and only a couple dozen SWAT officers stand between our… Continue reading The Last Angel: The Hungry Stars, Chapter 30
