I know I left a lot of loose ends, and maybe sometime in the future, I will pick one of them up and starting a new novel. However, I would like to move on to something else, when I'm ready, but definitely, NOT NOW, I Have A Headache.
This novel took a lot out of me, and I thank you for sticking with me to the end. It was first published on May 18, 2014, and the Final chapter should be published by September 15, 2015. It simply means 16 months of my continuous researching, reading, and writing, between 40 and 60 hours per month, and your continuous reading, for just more than an hour for each publication, if you are an average reader (500-600wpm). Thank you. You have been subjected to 34 chapters of my prose, good or bad, with approximately 30,000 words per chapter. That's 10,200,000 words, give, or take, for the entire series. I wrote them, and even I feel sorry for you.
A standard 480 page Tom Clancy novel only contains 7 million words so I feel honored that you stayed with me this long.
I just want to thank you one more time, and then I am going to SHUT UP. If the Commons could see me now, they would think,

Anonymous4 months agoWell I for one would have liked to know they at least broke out of the earths orbit and perhaps got to see the moon as they past it. The ending is like being on the Enterprise D and the it ends when Pickard says 'Engage. Credits roll............. Err what just happened?
So here's one ending. They press the big button and the ship explodes! Sad or what.
Anonymousover 1 year agoUnlike servant's i slogged through each chapter with lots and lots of fast forwarding...... I am exhausted
servant111over 2 years agowas going so excruciatingly slow that I jumped ahead from chapter 12 to the end.... Been reading these type of SiFi novels since the early 60's We call them Space Operas and Amazon is replete with them. For a good example of how this could have been improved I suggest you pull up the Kutherian Gambit series by Michael Anderle. That one has good snappy dialogue with really well done one liner repartee like you are attempting in this one.... It also has clear pacing and EVERYTHING in each book is foreshadowed and targeted towards the primary goal of taking mankind into the galaxy.
This one right now frustrates me to pieces....here you have the whole series point you towards the liftoff...and travel through the solar system to the interstellar sphere....and the SERIES DOES NOT DELIVER SQUAT!!! You as a reader are left hanging ....they get to liftoff...and you end the fricking series without giving the reader squat.... So thanks...the first couple of chapters were ok....but the rest of the series suffers from story interruptus...!!!
After reading this junk through Chapter 12...jumping ahead to the end and seeing that virtually all the questions/foreshadowing are left unanswered.... I find this to be one of the must frustrating wastes of time I have ever pushed through.
Epic Fail there sport...you can do much much better....Learn the editorial art of MODERATION...and STOP DROWNING YOUR READER IN INANE ONE LINER DIALOGUE AND INSCIPID STORY FRAGMENTS!
