All the Fixes Come at the end

Yes, I am writing the last two chapter in Book 09. (Not counting the actual last chapter, which is more of an epilogue, as it was in the previous books). And it's time to clean up all the little errors that crept into the draft.

  • Dave Alkema can not simultaneously be with a landing party and on the main bridge at the same time.
  • All these Specialists and Warfighters and Technicians who were given placeholder names like Joe-Bob and Coldbeer will have to be given real names. (Except maybe Coldbeer), and maybe resurrect some names from past books for continuity, like Billy Keane and Herrald. (Who was named after a guy on my freshman wrestling team in high school FWIW).
  • The villain is dispatched rather unceremoniously at the end of chapter 14. The reader may be unsatisfied unless they see her suffer.
Just tying up those loose ends and whatall.
