Parkaboy Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 Good news, everybody! I worked today on chapter 40 (the last one on volume 2) and it's already 12 pages long. All I need now is a little epilogue and I'll be set to publish it - probably sometime tomorrow. It's been a hard chapter to write in many ways, but I'm happy with the results. On a related note, I've been recovering from my personal SAS issues (turns out I have Benign Positional Paroxysmal Vertigo, something that makes me a very poor pilot), and will be at 100% in another week.

Mad Rocket Scientist Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I'll borrow a use of smilies from @Just Jim: I actually think that, by not saving everyone, the next volumes will be even more suspenseful, since we know you're not afraid to kill (almost) everyone.

smjjames Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Hmm..... If the small blast from the Mun was enough to fling Phoice to Eve (amazing that her craft survived the velocities involved though when re-entering), how far would that shockwave have flung Jeb... Also, did the Kerbals somehow discover FTL communication? Because there doesn't seem to be any delay between wherever Val is and Jeb. Also, did Minmus get evacuated? I suppose it might be possible that Minmus is above or below the shockwave and escapes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDJ Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I am absolutely impressed and pleased as heck with your work Parkaboy. Excellent finale to Volume 2. Arthur C. Clarke would be smiling too.

Sometimes you just accept that some science fiction stories benefit from a certain suspension of disbelief, and just accept it all as good entertainment.
