I don't want anyone to think that I advocate torture. I don't. On the other hand, the bastard was responsible for the deaths of dozens of...

What a deal with the devil. To be fair to Nicole, she didn't have any idea what she was getting into, and if I'd been in her situation I...

Okay, I wasn't a happy camper. But I was dealing with it better than before I talked to Cris. Or, more accurately, before she talked to...

Last week I told you how I felt about the aftermath of the fight. This week Cris put my head back on straight. Seems I was too busy...

Fuck, this was hard. Sorry about the language, but I hated this. Absolutely hated it. I mentioned, a couple weeks ago, about my history...

And enter Nicole Crozier. I have to give the late and otherwise unlamented Primus, now many years in her well-deserved reclamation pit,...

This first battle in the Artemis War was a real shock to me. I'd been in plenty of fights before, going all the way back to my tussles...

I hate missiles. I’m no angel, okay? I’ve killed plenty of people in my time, some of them really up close and personal, others at arm’s...

I had to do it. Sorry. If you like discussions of naval power and politics and all sorts of technical details, you’ll love this chapter....

War council time. I was pissed. The home that Cass and I had lived in for the past six years, raised our girls in, had been destroyed....

I may have mentioned this before, but until I got to know Davie Whitmore, she was number one on my personal hit list. It’s not because I...

The discovery of Lemnos was probably the most immediately impactful encounter of the entire first mission of the Enterprise. Why? Well,...

And here we are, continuing our tour of Tau Ceti, and Dawn Zihal got to make the big discovery this time. Of course, she then went and...

Ah, Niflheim. The garden spot of Tau Ceti. It’s better now, of course. It took a few years to get the terraforming up and running, and...

Ooh, a couple notable occurrences in this chapter! First, Cass very nearly spoils her line of immortality, like Neil Armstrong’s famous...

I still don’t know how Alley was so calm! I know, naval professional, thirteen years in submarines, blah blah blah. But when you emerge...

Hello again, and welcome back to the maiden out-System voyage of the TFS Enterprise! It’s funny; I still wish I had been there for this...

No, you didn’t fall into a time warp. Since each volume of my story is divided into ‘books’, when there’s a new book the chapter...

And this is where we started to put it all together. We knew that the Solarian Union was pissed at us for launching a starship. Maybe we...

I’m so glad I didn’t know any of this when I first met Nicole. We’ve all done things we aren’t proud of, right? I mean, I was an...
