Finally!

Caleb and Cheval Jaune will begin tomorrow. Another story in Thinking Horndog's Swarm Cycle, Caleb continues the story of the experimental Harrad Colony and the colonists' relationship with the Tuull.

In this story we learn about a new weapon to fight the Sa'arm and a way humans can influence their relationship with the Confederacy AIs if and when the Sa'arm are contained.

I'm experimenting with fewer and longer chapters. Your comments and voting (vote what you think - just vote) will help me decide if this will work for me. I'm not looking to boost my scores, rather I need your input to improve my writing.

The story is complete. I'll post a new chapter every three days.

I hope you are enjoying Labor Day.

I'm out in western Nebraska visiting my mother for a couple of weeks. A Windows 10 update messed up my laptop and my wife's so I'm using an old old 'puter until I can get home and resolve the issues.

Caleb and Cheval Jaune is with my first readers and editors. It will then go to the proofreader stage. I'm guessing it will start posting towards the end of September. Caleb is a story that begins after the Harrad Colony is established and gives a few glimpses of Pern, the colony's home planet, and tracks a new weapon authorized by the Tuull.

I've started to read my two DiD stories, Pēteris and Monica Mechanic, so that I can begin a sequel. I find myself enjoying Pēteris even I was the one who wrote it. If you like the Damsels In Distress stories, you might like to read or reread mine to get the characters back in mind. Or maybe you should wait, as I've not yet started, and I'm a slow writer...

My thanks to everyone who reported the messed up last posting. I have submitted a correction. The correct order should be chapter 12, Epilogue, Character list.

I have made corrections to all the other typos etc, that you folks so kindly noted - so once the chapter order is fixed, the story should be clean for all you folks who download for their e-readers. Check the the character list, and if it is not centered, it's okay.

Chapter 12 and the Epilogue load tomorrow morning, and this adventure concludes.

So, yes, a successful mutiny can be carried out on a Confederacy ship, even with an AI aboard. AIs aren't perfect, after all.

As I write this, Mutiny has the highest score of any of my stories. Looks like you folks enjoyed it as much as I did. Please vote, if you haven't yet.

On the the next...

Chapter Nine: Fishin' In Neverland queued up for tomorrow morning.
