We are close to the end of the tale which I will complete before the new year. Thank you very much for all of you who have written and commented both favorably and unfavorably. It will take some time before book 2 and three already for publication on the site.
In book 2 Jason is still unable to get to the Empire. He has to deal with the planets that have been attacked by the Mob and then the Mob core worlds.
In book 3 he does reach the Empire but very quickly meets some very interesting people.
My thanks to BarneyR who has done a lot of the proofreading and editing in this book.
I will post the penultimate chapter in a few minutes but I do want you to have the whole story before the new year.
