I have completed the first book of the
Eylau Sequence and have begun the process of copy editing and final touch-ups
in preparation for publishing, probably for the Amazon Kindle. Most content
posted to the Stories portion of Eylau.com will be supplemental to the books.
More to follow, thanks again for your support.

"With a curt "Yes sir." the Lieutenant issued a series of
attack profiles to the fire control system and walked into an elevator that
quickly ascended to the armory level. Exiting moments later she scanned the
hall with meticulous satisfaction. Already the long, smooth walls had opened up
and racks of ordnance were rapidly loading into vertical handlers. Pacing the
open floor, she immediately ordered by voice the deployment of the defenses and
retraction of the access well: "Tars Peliti Base prepare to repel boarders this
is no drill this is no drill."
"Confirmation of her order came
instantly with the sound of the access well four stories above retracting into
the solid walls. Walking casually over to the main hatch, she grabbed a
vertical handrail, manually pulled the door open and leaned through, craning
her head upward to see the last of open sky through the long rectangular chasm
that was the only route into the tower. Looking for a moment, she leaned back
inside as the door seal alarm sounded. Standing further back, she watched the
door slide fully closed, sealing the base. She walked back across the room
toward her desk and carefully monitored the loading of the
launchers." |
