Favorite characters from both the Alien Faith and Alien Purgatory stories, and new creatures and personalities emerge in this third novel of the Alien Something Trilogy. Carol and Deena resolve, or dissolve, if you will, their long, ugly feud. We discover who has been behind their bizarre travels, why they’ve done this, and what’s next for our intrepid adventurers.I’ve attempted to write this novel as a collection of short stories which unite into a full length novel. In these stories we meet a collection of sexers who travel space plying their trade. Two of these pleasurers are constructs who look just like Ghee-nye, sans scars and lumpy bumps. An intergalactic assassin pursues a garbage collector in a recycle ship who is one of the constructs sold long ago. Klon reemerges with his sidekick, Lukan, a furry six and a half foot monster who looks like a white bat, and they stage a comeback for Ghee. John Jack Knott, Kek, and Nok keep an eye out for her safety, and in the end, Vagn, Paige, Derek, and Kwyan reveal all. Well, some. Views: 328

On Tactics is intended to be the remedy to the chaotic and thus far unformed realm of tactical theory and to answer questions like the one above. Part One of the book will establish a tactical system meant to replace the Principles of War checklist. First, the contextual role of tactics with regards to strategy and war will be established. This will necessarily lean on major strategic theories in order to illuminate the role of tactics. This section will be formed around the Physical, Mental, and Moral planes of battlefield interaction used by theorists such as J.F.C Fuller and John Boyd. Each plane will then be examined in turn, and many of the classic Principles of War will be discussed along with some new ones. It will present some standard methods that tacticians can use to gain an advantage on the battlefield using historical examples that illustrate each concept. These "tactical tenants" include maneuver, mass, firepower, tempo, surprise, deception, confusion, shock, and the... Views: 327
