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. Admiral Foraker wants you here ASAP.” “What’s happened, lieutenant?” “Our listening posts have picked up an incoming hyper wake, ma’am. A big one. ETA sixteen hours.”
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 voted for it, so we’ve got a fresh new chapter of Ozymandias to close off the month!

Adrianna’s plan to escape the angler hounds through cryogenics has hit a snag: there are angler hounds in… Continue reading The Last Angel: Ozymandias, Chapter 12
