Re: THE LOPER - SUNBRINGER

69 The day limped by until they’d returned to the new ball of stellar gases and radiation and stopped for repairs and science evaluations, which Zowaix and Caltaya were running in the science department, now that Harvey had gotten the division scanners and computers back online.

68 Captain Utraya forced himself to his feet as Aldair stepped into his conference room and tried not to look sorrowfully at him. Utraya could see it wasn’t easy for the Lappinean, seeing an old friend like this. An hour had passed, in which he’d gotten no sleep and the Loper had picked up the combi...

I'm back. It's just that Life is beginning to annoy me and I had to return here and just write as I go along. Hugs a writer. That's how I do it. And how Lee Childs does it too. He believes it's important that the writer finds out the danger or challenge facing the hero at the same time as the reader.
