A casual disregarding of the rules leads to the main character's spectacularly bad day.

I personally love the idea and the dynamic of showing Jews surviving an apocalyptic event. And they are able to do so without losing their humanity or their faith in the process.

Deep Space Mission #14 finds a small system where a gas giant planet with four intact moons also has the remains of a fifth. But what secrets does the debris hold? And then when the crew finds evidence of textiles, and dyed textiles to boot, it seems obvious. There had been some sort of civilization there. But what the hell had happened to it? And, more importantly, why?

In 2022, I wrote the prequels for Time Addicts and The Real Hub of the Universe. For 2023, it was the Untrustworthy prequel and Obolonk prequels. And for 2024, it was the Enigman Cave prequel. The Mettle prequel is set for 2025. But I just might end up bumping it in favor of a new idea that's kicking around and it won't let go.... So, I anticipate a lot of fun and perhaps a little confusion. But it's all good!

Songs for Mettle.

Alt: A row of elephants (called oliphants in the novels) with their tusks extended carrying troops for a battle in the film The Return of the King (the third in the Middle Earth trilogy).

When I was first putting together the reputation-based names for my Obolonk characters, this one’s name started off as just TSTO Tiles Bathrooms. But of course, they didn’t really come alive until I added the adverb at the end. It offers (I believe) just the right touch of passive-aggression. It’s a lot like telling someone, you’re not so much of a problem child, most of the time. Damning with faint praise, indeed.

... the last thing I wanted was for Astrid to be someone who is almost preternaturally gifted. She would be highly competent, but not in the sort of way where it’s not believable. Astrid, in some ways, is someone I see as being kind of like your cousin who’s good at languages.

As the narrator complains that someone or other is coming between him and a female special somebody, he eventually owns up to the fact that the inevitable is just plain going to happen. Whether he likes it, or not. But it’s every soldier’s right to complain. And I suppose it is every spaniel’s right as well.
