Great stuff! I can feel your inspiration flowing like a giant torrent. Can't wait to see what you'll write next! Btw, were you able to read The Blood Of Tyrants?
I’m actually not sure at this point! It started out as a “one and done” (I might borrow that term again in future) but then as I wrote it, the character and the world - Tanvi, the culture, the older layer of civilization that hinted at Egyptian roots - sort of grew out and became more fleshy with each paragraph. The budding civil war, the corrupt government in orbit, the simultaneous involvement of the Egyptian special forces - it all just snowballed and took on a life of its own.
Now I’m thinking that instead of a “one and done”, this might actually be the opening chapter of a new tale altogether…!

I have not bought it yet, no! It is somewhere on my wishlist on Amazon if I remember correctly. I will definitely get around to it sometime soon.
Since you like mecha so much, I can say that Outlaw Ridar, the bonus novella I added to this book, it has a lot of action!
Interesting story and lots of effective detail. It feels like the start of a much longer tale.
Is this a one and done or will it continue?

Minor corrections done:
- Charooga City fixed to Charooka City
- they deliver their first pod to Bay Three; the final mention now also points to Bay Three instead of Bay Seven
- minor "who said this dialogue" corrections
Writing while you are "in the zone" apparently does not come with great spell-checking abilities, or so it would seem...
Yes, but writing in the zone is always much better than out of said zone :D
