Ghosts From the Past

Okay, here is the cover:
     I didn't put Irons in the shot. (he is on the shuttle) The boatbay is from Renderosity, as is the shuttle. (remade by me) The asteroid base is also from Renderosity. (both parts of it)
The characters, cart, and props are from Daz 3D. I put my own touches on everything. (including the boat bay textures and layout) Let's see, there is a Panda, Dog, 3 humans, and the chimeran in the foreground. Oh, and someone or I should say, something else...

Special thanks to Mechmaster for helping me get the textures right.

Write up:

    Fleet admiral John Henry Irons has been busy. After waking in the Senka system he has crisscrossed the system, having a series of adventures and ups and downs along the way. He's made some new friends and met old ones. He has also made some powerful enemies.
    But the call to war is inevitable. Those who thrive on destruction wish him and the civilization he is trying to rebuild ill will. The boot of oppression is already on a part of the sector thanks to the Nazi like Horathian pirates. Admiral Irons must lead a rag tag group of former pirate slaves and military personnel back to one of the few places he hopes will help stem the pirate tide. Once there he'll have to face the politicians, then dig up his one ace, a secret from his past.
But some ghosts should remain buried...

This will conclude Irons Wandering time period. I had planned on a time skip but well, events were taken out of my hands. You'll see when you get to read it.

I just passed the manuscript to Rea today. I am still waiting on feedback from a few of the betas. I am keeping my fingers crossed that we'll get it out before the end of this year. Hopefully. Maybe.

Next up is my annual 3D Christmas card. :)

  4. Chris, I have a question. What are the colors on a horath flag? Also, does the horathian emperor have a house motto?

    1. I haven't pushed the back story of Horath much in my notes. Off the top of my head I remember red, gold, and silver... or was it black? A field of red... grr... I'm not sure.
      House motto: I hadn't thought of that to be honest. Any ideas? Something along the lines of purifying the galaxy to protect it in Latin? I dunno.

      FYI I am puttering around with Battle Lines and Multiverse 2. I have set BL aside to get MV2 out of the way since writing short stories is easier on my sanity with all the interruptions going on. (Thanks gram but I don't need anymore tighty whities, I have a drawer full ...yes getting me a gift card is easier...you get the idea. lol)
