january 17 2022 by dave freer finally at least the e book is available cloud castles the highlighted text is a link via my affiliates account so i do get a few extra cents on this if you go via it i am working on the paperback cover and that will hopefully soon be available it has been a long hard couple of years the physical side has been tough but i am up for that the mental psychological side with a bunch of petty bureaucrats making my life a misery while i was severely stressed about barbs s health no they have no real justification and their legal ground is imo more than quite shaky they just have the weight of the system entirely in their favor we will get through it but it s a battle one that is costing a huge amount both in stress and lost productivity and money the full story will eventually be told in another book anyway cloud castles is designed to make you laugh maybe even make you cry it s a lot of pure escapism and entertainment with what i believe are very real characters because they talked to me and did pretty much what they thought was the right thing to do it s all set on a world which is enormously alien based in science a gas dwarf a puff planet onto which a convict ship of undesireables australian convicts from a future australia made crash landing on to the only solid thing with a breathable atmosphere an alien trading point a few square miles of floating platform where two ancient and inimical alien empires on the only place that neither wanted the stratosphere of world where land was unreachable and far below generations later our hero augustus is an idealistic young volunteer from a wealthy neighboring system comes to help the poor of the trading plate on sybil iii or as they call it the big syd it s a crowded corrupt hell hole that really needs help the only problem is that the locals want to help themselves too mostly they want to help themselves to his money his possessions his liberty and even his life all that stands between them and this goal is the ragged urchin he picked up as a guide briz if anyone is going to rob or take advantage of the drongo she s picked up it briz even if she has to keep him alive to do

comments for anyone who wants to write military sf or fantasy involving war posted on may 18 2013 by davefreer_mnk3y my reading recommendation is up on the baen podcast is one reprint the cheapest all ofthe reprints apparently suffer from average quality this one is available in kindle god does not forget the story of a boer war commando by deneys reitz one of the greatest war books ever written a vivid unforgettable picture of mobile guerrilla warfare in 1899 a 17 year old boy by the name of dennys reitz volunteered to fight for his country south africa against the british he could ride and shoot with the best of them so he was quickly assigned to a boer commando unit one of the highly mobile light cavalry units that were driving the british crazy outmanned outgunned and under supplied the boer commandos nevertheless checked the british at almost every turn they became masters of lightning attacks night fighting and ambushes only to disappear to strike again somewhere else reitz was in it from beginning to end and participated in nearly every major battle his descriptions of war and adventure have come to be regarded as among the best in the english language after the fighting was over reitz chose to live in madagascar rather than remain in south africa under british rule and it was from there that he wrote this book but his exile did not last his old commander talked him into returning to his homeland to help build the new dominion to this task he brought the courage and leadership he had learned as a commando eventually becoming a member of parliament cabinet minister deputy prime minister and south african high commissioner to london he also fought bravely on the western front during ww i for the british they have for the sf writer the real advantage of telling about the underdog the boer republics tiny probably less than 100 000 people fighting the biggest most powerful empire of the time and the story is one which deals not so much with tactics as with the personal realities of war told through the eyes of 17 year old volunteer much of this is guerilla warfare and it has both a rawness of personal immediate experience and the sort of western orientated education and mind that makes this very accesible despite the fact that it is a century or so ago categories books 1 comment free story in heirs of alexandria universe posted on may 16 2013 by davefreer_mnk3y the krumhorn and misericorde a longish short story concerning the back history of a character who has appeared in a number of the books and in the new one burdens of the dead due out on the 4th of june from baen books takes a major role it is set in the heirs of alexandria universe shadow of the lion a mankind witch this rough magic much fall of blood burdens of the dead for completists the witch s murder also fits in that universe eric and i planned a series of murder mysteries with a little element of magic set in that universe it could still happen oh all of the pictures are links and if you use them i get another 6 from amazon costs you no extra just sayin categories books 5 comments save the dragons page posted on may 15 2013 by davefreer_mnk3y hopefully the page for the e book is now up and you can follow the links categories books 2 comments the forlorn mine posted on may 12 2013 by davefreer_mnk3y the forlorn was the first book i actually sold to a traditional publishing house out of the about 3000 sluch submissions that year they bought one this one it was the second book up on the baen free library and many people have read it but as the rights have now returned to me and times are tight i am offering it for sale again vet bills i suspect loom and there are other important things that even the most self sufficient family need from time to time the picture is a link which gives me an extra 6 which trust me is welcome i got 6 royalty on the book the first time round across the one human colony world a place technologically regressed to near medieval possibly the last place humans still survive a desperate search continues scattered across the deserts tangled jungles and alien fortresses lie the core sections of a matter transmitter these sections hold the key to vast wealth power or the fulfilment of the colony s purpose to help humankind survive the rabidly xenophobic alien morkth who will tolerate no other intelligent species the morkth managed to follow the colony ship and despite their mothership being shot down and their queen being killed they continue their relentless struggle to destroy humankind and to reconstruct that incredibly valuable matter transmitter if they succeed they ll be able to return to the hive with the location of the colony of vile humans and have a new world to occupy if they fail they ll destroy the planet the search has gone on for centuries and it is all reaching an end point the future hangs in the balance the morkth have lasers aircraft nukes those who want the core sections for their own ends have vast armies against them are three unlikely reluctant heroes a street child thief a dispossessed spoiled brat of a princess and a confused amoral morkth raised human they re armed only with 14th century weapons and their own wits it s a lost cause a forlorn hope but it s all humans have categories books 1 comment older posts keep dave writing what universe
