Just one thing I spotted..

"You, Law, and bastard who gets in my way..." should that be "You, Law and any other bastard..."
Thanks, it should read any. Amendment made.

Hopefully more soon but just heard my uncle has died so i might have to be away. Haven't seen him for decades so it doesn't affect me but my old mum might need support.

Thanks, his death doesn't really mean anything to me emotionally because it's 30 years since i've seen him but my mum has lost both brothers in a year now. Intimations of mortality.

Note to self, visit mother more often.

Lol! what ya mean cheeky!!! It's true you know!!!lol

Anyway, yeah visiting people is something we should all do, but we always think there is tomorrow don't we. Then that tomorrow turns into today and that turns into to late.
some who deserve life receive death. Others who deserve death receive life. Can you give it to them? Don't be eager to deal out death in judgement, for not even the wise can see all ends.

Yep, the Boron supply Orca that was floating around in the Xenon sector. More details will be unveiled. It was captured by Law in Chapter 1 of Revenge.

And IIRC it was a particularly brutal assault with survivors blasted out into the vaccuum. Might have to read it again!

Exellent addition, Steve.

Feels like the station manager had a dodgy reason to leave, might only my impression from the phrasing, though.

Well, I hope Sinas has good news for him and he is gonna get Menelaus Paradise. What did you mean by 'have the Confeds shot at'? Are they to be used as bait/diversion or what is his intention?

Looking forward to more!

"half eaten" or half-eaten?

I think it was Max's cynical way of saying, it's going to be their station, let them take most of the risks. I'll adjust the master a bit.

Good stuff.

I'm vaguely reminded of Stephen Donaldson's GAP series. It was Jaines and his exhausted ship and crew that did that. There's a similar character and battleship in the GAP series. Loosely similar.

Nice going.

Yeah, that's his fantasy trilogy 'The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, Unbeliever' - which is his finest work. (There is a second trilogy - 'The Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant' but it is not quite as good in my view.)

The GAP series is his big 5 book scifi epic loosely based on the Ring cycle (Wagner not Tolkien :wink: ). It is very good even if it isn't his best work. I'll say that again, it is very good (Thomas Covenant is a work of genius, in my opinion).

I think you'd like it.

PS. I'd better give you the titles:

The Gap Into Conflict: The Real Story (1990)
The Gap Into Vision: Forbidden Knowledge (1991)
The Gap Into Power: A Dark and Hungry God Arises (1992)
The Gap Into Madness: Chaos and Order (1994)
The Gap Into Ruin: This Day All Gods Die (1996)

PPS. Isn't google handy... :wink:
