Tough chapter
The past week I’ve been fretting about chapter 21. I didn’t feel it for days. I knew what had to happen in the chapter, but the right mood, the right setting escaped me. Finally, yesterday, I banged out two-thousand words, completing most of it. It needs some tweaking, but it’s so nice to finally have that scene worked out so I can move on.
I’ve taken a week off from the day job next week, so I can finally get down to self-editing the first draft of chapters 4 to 21. About time!
There’s still one day left to enter the Goodreads giveaway for the Isolated Futures Omnibus. If you don’t make the draw, you can still get the book for the reduced price until 14 september.
A new golden age of CPU design?
I’m always looking back to the seventies and eighties with envy when it comes to computers. Everything was possible. There was promise, there was excitement, there was optimism. We were setting foot on uncharted territory, discovering a whole new world.
Then in the nineties things stagnated, it was just more of the same. Recent developments have gotten me excited again though, such as the NeuRRAM processors, which is modelled after the human brain. Or a novel approach to addressing data that will prevent many vulnerabilities and security issues.
I’ve been ruminating about these developments on my blog.
Unexpected Contact
Greg Sorber
A Mechhaven Novella
As a mercenary during The Mechanai War, there was no shortage of work, but Sigrid had rules. That she ignored her rules as often as followed them wasn’t something that bothered her. A last-minute job protecting attaché mech, TH3R, and his companion, junior officer, Tala Matapang was a tempting payday. Their mission: detect and capture a SPDR mech alive.
The Imperium’s infiltration and assassination mechs were difficult to find. They were even harder to capture intact. Trying to find one in an urban metropolis was next to impossible. Tala and TH3R will need to use all the lessons they’d learned since their first encounters with the malicious mechs to avoid going from hunter to hunted.
Can a mercenary, attaché mech, and newly promoted officer track and capture their elusive and deadly adversary?
