Foreword: This is a tale set in a fantasy sword and sorcery universe of my own creation. All characters are original. It's going to be an open ended series of adventures as a counterpoint to Solar Wind.

Yet when someone in the public domain dies, as Steve Jobs did this week, we are forced to consider it...if only for a moment. Of course, the Internet, Facebook and Twitter are full of articles, commentaries and eu...
Gimtesh Thresh, of the House Thresh and current captain of the unhappy needleship Banemaw, had been sweating bullets for the past twenty eight hours. And she normally didn't even bother with sweat glands to begin with. "Scrying report number three six two eight nine..." A bored sounding voice burred in the background – barely heard by Gimtesh.
