Last Hurrah.

[Richard Saunders]

Hello.
Just a grummble.
I WANT THE 5 CHAPTER OF THE LAST HURRAH.
Yes like all readers of good sci fi i want it now.
The fact that the writer is probably busy has nothing to do with it (throws self to floor and chucks a tantrum)I in capital with underline and bold letters want it now.
Oh and by the way it's very good.
BYE.

I want to write it. Problem is, I have this novel for Mongoose to finsh yesterday, Starfall and the Players Book, and Line Editor Stuff to do, and...
well, you get the idea. I'm planning on doing a couple of chapters once I finish Standing Alone, though.

In the meantime, you could take a look at Diaspora Phoenix, Travellers Aide #2 or, http://www.fictionworks.com/Pinglorydie.htm

Hello.
Yes i understand but i want it now just like all the other people and i reserve the right to wingge and complain just like them.
After all havn't we fought thousands of wars and killed billions of people just so i can grummble and complain with impunity (joke).
OH well i guess i'l just have to wait (he says with lower lip trembling and tears rolling down his face),(yes i am old enough to know better but levity does make the world seem better).
BYE.

(Excuse me while I sort of high-jack the thread...)

"I have this novel for Mongoose to finsh yesterday" Oh Ho! Care to elaborate on that little snippet MJD? Mongoose as in Matt Sprange's merry band in Swindon (poor souls!)?

Hmm: Judge Dredd, Slaine, B5 (possible but unlikely)... 2089 perhaps?? Go on, give us a hint!

(Ahem, I do apologise, please have the thread back...)

Very well. Standing Alone is a novel of Armageddon 2089. It is set in Brtainand Europe, dealing mainly with the fight for British independence.

The European Federation is stalled on the Humber Line, but the British will to resist is crumbling. A rogue EF general comes up with a plan to break the Humber Line and tear the guts out of the British will to resist. His deception plan works, puling Britsh forces out of position, leaving only a scratch force of misfitsd and militia to oppose the EF landings.

This is the first novel featuring Shotgun Mike Halsey, a Mek Officer/Martial Artist discrdidted and blamed for a fiasco.

Halsey ends up being an odd-job man for the de facto British leadership, but with cross-cutrting loyalties and coproate interference it's hard to know who to trust.

Hence the title, Standing Alone.
