    No one said they know what they're doing.

    Chapter 5

  3. Five The Captain and the Captive The Karnian Rapid Transport vehicle sped down the south road, its engine roaring, but its progress was a series of violent, grinding jerks. Radé, the Prince, was not driving so much as wrestling the heavy machine, his lack of experience making every gear shift a screeching protest. “I told you I haven’t finished my course!” Radé shouted over the din, white-knuckling the thick steering wheel. “Drive, Your Highness! Just keep the wheels turning!”
  4. Jonas is going to have to get Eddie's enthusiasm under control, before it becomes too reckless
  5. I mean, we knew that poor thing was going to fall down.
  6. The damp, bone-deep chill of Ashworth Hall at the end of January was not merely a season; it was a living, malicious entity that actively hunted the living. The great spring thaw was coming and would turn the rutted Kentish post-roads into impassable rivers of churning brown mud, and yet the winter cold stubbornly refused to surrender its grip on the ancient estate. It seeped relentlessly through the massive, porous stone walls, crept up like a phantom from the warped and damp floorboards, and s

    Thank you for this work. I enjoyed it tremendously, you have a gift.
  8. There are ways to do it, he could resign his commission, with the consent of the Admiralty. A lot of aristocratic officers would await post, usually occupying stations at home. The navy could have wonderfully convoluted ways of doing things, especially in the shadow of Admiral Rodney's navy.

    Radé is going to learn manual the hard way
  11. Four The Two-Meter Tether The refueling depot, once a dreary hub of Taïrian commerce, was now a loud, churning factory of occupation. The roar of the Rapid Transport Vehicles and the low, guttural idling of several Karnian tanks—their massive, riveted bodies like prehistoric beasts—drowned out the miserable complaints of the refugees. Shem sat rigidly at the sticky Formica table; his entire reality now contained within the 2m radius of the Relic Maintenance Nexus. His 2m cor
  12. Reunions are always a dance of half truth, boasts, and deliberate omissions. My father was the master of this specialized deception. I wanted to write about what happens when two men finally tear the lid off of their lives and admit the truth to each other. Bad books, stairlifts, and living with mom. Not to mention one very maligned and mangled Mercedes that has seen better days.
  13. There is no confirmation that she was a spymaster, but there is certainly enough hints that she was. She was terrifyingly well informed of things.

    Carter's Echo takes place right after this book
  15. The sprawling, heavy oak table in the subterranean kitchen of Ashworth Hall groaned under the sheer, unadulterated weight of their New Year’s sins. The raids had been a masterpiece of desperate, coordinated violence and highly theatrical deception. Executed flawlessly on the freezing post-roads across several different counties over the last fortnight. They never hit the same road twice, always changed their attire, switched horses, and varied up the disguises to keep the parish watches fr

    Well firstly they assumed Theo was the passive party. Gotta love bigotry. The other factor is that the scarring that occours is usually internal and not seen from an external examination. In fact there is no evidence that Anal sex leaves any mark or sign at all... even the old "Tight" vs "loose" slurr is actually just a natural factor of age and pain tolerance. No Doctor McMillian was quite right, he used prejudice of the time against the prosecution and won.

    Bobby Grady, best damn Sheriff the town's ever had!
  18. Edward, as you will learn, is a baronet in his own right. And the Lord title is earned, it will be explained in due course, as you come to learn Edward's full history. He is not what he seems at the start.

  20. Eddie has a plan, whether it is a good plan awaits to be seen. Jonas will groan loudly, complain, and make arrangements for their inevitable funerals.

    There are limits to what Shem can do, now it's Brandon's turn to keep them alive. Radé will get his own turn, in due time.
  23. Three The Price of Livery The stolen Karnian Rapid Transport Vehicle shuddered across the frozen plain, its aggressive, spiked tires kicking up slush and grit. The roaring engine, fueled by the enemy’s bio-diesel, felt like a beacon in the night. Inside, the three boys were a study in contradiction. Shem, focused on the road ahead and the immediate logistical crisis, was acutely aware of the Calculation Tablet’s status. “KIT: Power Reserves at 1%. Recharge cutoff immine
