I learned about another few typos of the who-whom variety. Fixed. Thanks.
Interesting comment on the story. Most have been pretty positive but every once in a while you get one that makes you scratch your head. “I usually like your stories but "Martian Justice" is just too trite!” Not sure I would ever have considered it trite. According to Merriam-Webster: “hackneyed or boring from much use : not fresh or original” Oh well, another fan lost.
As a Christmas present, I am posting two chapters today. Enjoy!
Our intrepid spy visits the ghetto. Hilarity ensues! Enjoy!
As always please keep an eye out for any typos. Thanks.
One of the discrepancies I mentioned earlier comes up in Chapters 6 and 7. In Greenies, the EastHem currency is the pound. In Homebodies, it is the euro. I stuck with pounds.
I had a few interesting responses to my use of the Rule of 70 to determine doubling times. Several readers corrected me, saying it was more accurately the Rule of 69 or 72. I found this interesting explanation on Investopedia: “In some instances, the rule of 72 or the rule of 69 is used. The function is the same as the rule of 70 but uses the number 72 or 69, respectively, in place of 70 in the calculations. While the rule of 69 is often considered more accurate when addressing continuous compounding processes, 72 may be more accurate for less frequent compounding intervals. Often, the rule of 70 is used because it's easier to remember.” For the purpose used in the story, 70 is sufficient.
An eagle-eyed reader of the story noted a few typos in earlier chapters. Many thanks to stephen21412. I reloaded chapter 3 and 4.
Intrigue rules as Martian Justice develops. How much intrigue? Keep reading. Enjoy!
