I'm Back.

Been a bit under the weather, thus the lack of activity here -

And now for something completely different - Book II is in its early stages, even though book one isn't finished.  A bit of a taste.

“We are gathered here today to celebrate humanities arrival here on Destiny,” the voice thundered from the screen.  “Two hundred years ago, our ancestors, lost and in a badly damaged ship arrived in the system they would name Rua Sem Saida to find the planet that would be their home.”  The video feed was mostly long shots of the group on the reviewing stand – city, state, and national dignitaries, a couple of local B’ar’tai chiefs deemed ‘safe’ by the local and national politicians, and assorted others deemed either reliable enough to be seen with their betters or having given enough baksheesh to grease their way up onto the podium. 

I know, I know, I need to finish the first book.
