![]() They’re not asking if anyone wants to be liberated either. So, off they go to liberate a number of star systems. Still, Admiral Dumar and Capt Nathan Scott (Aurora Actual) have decided that it’s time and they can’t wait any longer. She should be there for about two-months which is a long time for one of the only two jump capable Earth capital ships. The Celestia is in dry-dock getting repaired. We can land a boat load or two of Ghatazhak soldiers to take care of ground forces, but we still don’t have all the weapon platforms we need. ![]() That’s just a great strategic idea, but we’ve only got one ship, the Aurora, that is combat ready plus a fews Scout ships and some Falcon fighters. We’re out to kick some butt specifically, some Jung butt! Earth or the Alliance has decided to go on the offensive and start clearing out the Jung on occupied worlds within 20 lightyears of Earth. The action is extremely fast in this episode. ![]() If you’re just starting on the Saga, you won’t understand what’s going on now so I strongly recommend you start at the beginning. Well, Ryk Brown has no problem doing that with his Frontiers Saga book. ![]() And I also know it takes a lot of time and effort to get a good story-line developed and keep it going to satisfy the fan-base as it grows. Yet, I’m reluctant to start each one because I know the story will quickly be over and I’ll have to wait for the next episode. Boy! These books are exciting! I can’t get enough of them. ![]()

Oliver Twist was one of his earliest novels. From these sketches he progressed to writing short stories, and later novels – these tended to be published in instalments via the periodicals, which allowed him to adjust the plot as he went along, based on the reaction of readers. On reaching adulthood Dickens worked as a legal clerk, and later as a journalist writing political “sketches” for newspapers and periodicals. His experience of the poor conditions endured there by the child labourers was to inform his later writings such as Oliver Twist. However, at the age of 11, his father’s spiralling debts meant that young Charles was sent to work in a London factory. His family moved to Chatham in Kent when he was 4 and he enjoyed a comfortable childhood. ![]() Charles Dickens was born in Hampshire, the son of a clerk. ![]() ![]() Ray, a tech journalist, works at the rate of 10p per word. (In contrast, Ray's friends are called things like Lee and Dave, and other names that no one really has.) I wonder whether Dunthorne is an SEO supremo, with alerts set up to track the rise in searches of "Garthene". Online, it barely exists outside this novel. To my ear, her name is admirably hideous. She is pregnant, and they spend much of their time together in pursuit of various ghastly flats. Much of the action takes place online, through instant messages and comment sections ("the bottom half of the internet"). He doesn't use the word, but our narrator, Ray, bears all the vital statistics of the "millennial": early 30s, dissatisfied, and living alternately in Clapton and on the internet. In The Adulterants, his third novel, Dunthorne turns his searchlight to another well-known character type. Hard to find more honest praise: Oliver was recognisable to everyone. It was one of those novels that everyone who hadn't written one themselves read and thought: I could do that. ![]() ![]() Oliver Tate, the teenage protagonist of Joe Dunthorne's first novel, Submarine, brought to the minds of reviewers those two pimply aesthetes of the 20th century: Adrian Mole and Holden Caulfield. ![]() ![]() ![]() Too bad she can't trust a player with a reputation for breaking hearts.
