I am republishing LOST ON THE LAST CONTINENT on Royal Road, hoping to drum up some publicity. The version published here under “Samples” is now password protected.

Spread the word.
The second volume of John C Wright’s ongoing Space Opera epic of epics is available now:
Space Opera has returned in all its glory and gigantic action! If you are weary of the wasteland of wokeness, your wait is ended!
The despotic Galactic Empire is gone, and the Dark Overlords are dead.
But from the embers new menaces arise: a Dark Sun Weapon quenches living stars; Pirate King Ahab gathers space corsairs to form warfleets of conquest; the Crime Syndicate corrupts consuls, fixes vote, paralyzes the polity to pry planets from the new Constitution.
Space Princess Lyra Centauri, exiled Shrine Maiden, employs her astral powers on behalf of the mysterious spymaster Nightshadow, and finds the shades of ancient foes alive in the astral realm.
Senator Napoleon Lone, and his illegal super-robot valet, must thread the maze of stellar politics to rouse a lethargic senate ere war clouds can crush the fledgling republic!
Patrolman Athos Lone wins the Black Badge of a Vindicator, and is able investigate without warrant and execute without trial. He seeks the Murder Mansion of Pirate Captain Liska, who slew his brother. As the iron-masked and lion-clawed vigilante called the Ancient Mariner, he seeks bloody revenge.
Shall the darkness thrive and dead devilry revive?
Read On! For All True Tales are but Part of a Greater!

I humbly ask my dear readers to spread the word, boost the signal, and tell the fun-starved spaceoperaless world that relief is on the way, and the great tradition of Pulp Wonder-tales is about to be revived.
New episode from AtMoM.
The driest of philosophical topics, and on of my favorite:
Bypass the cultural gatekeeping, support non-woke authors, and get yourself some great based books from both established and emerging talent for only $0.99 – many titles free – but only for one week! The sale starts today, and it runs through the end of the day, Tuesday February 18.
With over 200 books in the sale, there’s a lot to see here. It’s like browsing an eclectic bookstore with a surprisingly good book hidden on every shelf. And the store is full of based books instead of random selections. So make yourself a warm cup of nutri-broth – or maybe the legendary Terran “coffee,” if you’re lucky enough to have it on your planet – settle in, and start browsing.
Meanwhile, in a continuum nearby to ours, but not ours, the Star Wars franchise was true to the original
In our continuum, Disney squandered the greatest and best intellectual property of our generation, which, if treated with respect and nurtured, could have thrilled and enchanted generations to come, winning them wealth and praise. Instead, dreck.
On an utterly unrelated noted, the second book of my Starquest series, SECRET AGENTS OF THE GALAXY, is coming out next month.
My lovely and talented wife is kickstarting her first Kickstarter campaign.
Beauty and the Beast, Scarlett and Rhett, Lizzie Bennett and Mr. Darcy… we love to read and re-read our favorite couples falling in love.
Do you yearn to know how the authors wove these timeless tales and how you can do the same?
Then this course, The Art and Craft of Writing Romance, is for you!
These are books by a personal friend of mine, which I am willing to recommend just on the strength of his role playing games he moderated back when we were in school together. He knows how to cobble together a fun, fast-moving action-adventure plot.

Once again, it’s that special time of year when based authors take a moment away from their Thanksgiving plans to band together and promote each other’s work: books without the diversity checklists, woke tropes, and cultural programming of mainstream traditionally published stories.
Bypass the cultural gatekeeping, support non-woke authors, and get yourself some great based books from both established and emerging talent for only $0.99 – many titles free – but only for one week! The sale starts today, and it runs through Tuesday December 3.
My “Last Straw” column on the platform formerly known as Twitter is up:

The Last Straw is an ongoing autopsy of The Last Jedi — a failure that demanded Starquest: Space Pirates of Andromeda:

to revive pulp-era space opera in all its grandeur, wonder and fun.
This is an experimental audiobook preview of the prologue STARQUEST: SPACE PIRATES OF ANDROMEDA made by a friend and patron of mine. Listen and enjoy!
I am seriously debating whether to do the audiobook myself, in order to get the accents correct, but this robot reading sounds much better than anything I would have expected.

Jason Rennie and I produced a special episode of AGAIINST THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS, called Trumpamania, where we discuss the election results, and speak of some reforms and crusades Trump promises to begin
We went live two days ago:

Donald J Trump has been elevated to the purple by the prince-electors at Aachen, and coronated in Rome by the Pope, so that he is now Imperator of the Holy Roman Empire, and of the Empire of Man, Rex Quondam Rexque Futurum.
All Glory to God and to his anointed!
The Tribune Assembly of the Commoners in America, who retain a quaint custom of confirming the Electoral determination by local ballot, have also granted His Imperial Majesty the Mandate of the Commons.
