Sequels and Sequels – William S. Frisbee

Books

Never underestimate an old man in a business where men die young.

War is a young man’s game, and one where failure usually leads to your death. There’s a reason some people survive when others don’t—they’re faster, stronger, smarter, and usually luckier than everybody else—and you antagonize them at your own peril!

From knowing how to judge the intelligence data to understanding how to play “the long game,” or just having the experience from past operations to be able to tell when things are about to go wrong, these old men and women know what they’re doing… and woe betide the new recruits who don’t listen. Be careful, because that old timer sitting next to you—the one who doesn’t say much—may have a skill or maybe even a robot that’s going to kick your butt!

For, as the old-timers know, an ounce of experience is worth a pound of youthful exuberance!

The mission was supposed to be his last.

After more than twenty years in special operations, USMC Gunnery Sergeant Wolf Mathison wasn’t looking forward to retirement when—implanted with an experimental artificial intelligence—he deployed on his last mission with a platoon of Marine Raiders being sent to the Jovian moon Europa.

The USS Jefferson was destroyed en route, though, and only Mathison and three other Marines survived. Trapped in stasis, they were hurled into the outer reaches of the solar system, where they wouldn’t be found for hundreds of years.

Meanwhile, on Earth, the United States is destroyed and a fascist regime rises to power, expanding into the galaxy to plant its boot heel on the necks of humanity. But SOG, the Social Organizational Governance, is not unopposed, and researchers at a top-secret research outpost are working on a solution that will let SOG reign supreme. Unfortunately for the Marines, they’re awakened from stasis at the same time the researchers awaken a threat that endangers the entire human race.

The odds are against them, but that’s nothing new for the Marine Raiders.

Semper Fidelis and Semper Invictus!

SFBabe2 copy So those who know me, know that I usually have several different projects ‘in the works’. Currently with National Novel Writer’s month I began the sequel for The Return. This has encouraged me to go back to the original. Now with the sequels I have frequently found myself going back to edit some detail in the first book. This has occurred quite a bit with my Aelfsward series (I’m on book 3 right now!).

I’m also working on some books on writing Military SF, some more books for Airsoft, and if that is not enough, a book on computer consulting.

With so many projects going on some might think that I am ADHD and Thanksgiving is coming, I’m really looking forward to eating ham and turkey, and lots of it but of course I will have to spend more time in the dojo to work it off and I plan on going through my paperback collection to find some of my favorites to reread, maybe get in kindle format, BUT perhaps you get the idea?

At any rate, I’m working on Book Two of “The Return” called “The Darkness”. I am finding out this is a brutal process. Just like the Aelfsward series it appears there is a LOT more tell than a trilogy since the Darkness is coming to the Conglomerate, civil war is errupting and humanity is likely to be caught right in the middle of it all. Yea. I don’t think I can fit that into three books unless I cut some corners, and every time I try to do THAT I find I’m in a maze and corners just don’t work that way in a maze. Sooo. . . .

I do want to get back to Incidental Elf though. Getting a lot of good feedback from my writers group.

One problem I am finding with all these projects is my reading time is next to nil. I’m not reading nearly as many books. Just doesn’t seem to be time for them, or gaming. I haven’t played Destiny in about a month, it has been a while since I played Elite Dangerous as well.

Another reason I’m looking forward to the vacations. More time to spend WRITING, maybe reading. When I get dragged off to ‘visit’ family or inlaws I usually manage to get in some good reading time. Haven’t done much artwork either. Too busy writing.

I don’t know. We will find out. But I have managed over 59K words on the book “The Darkness”. Now I should get back to writing. I did create a picture of some of the ships Luke is serving on though. From right to left. The Leonis Ultio, the Proud Infidel and. . . to be determined. TBD is 5K long and actually more black like the Ultio but it is a start.
