December 3rd, 2015 A Matter of Honor will be generally available on Amazon. Instead of giving you more marketing text about how much fun this is going to be, I’m including the start of Chapter 2. Yeah, you read that right. I’m not giving you Chapter 1 because it gives away too much. Please consider pre-ordering as this drives the Amazon algorithms, giving Privateer Tales much appreciated attention.
IN FOR A PENNY
Planet Curie, Tipperary Star System
A light breeze, a perfect twenty-six degrees, a rum drink with an umbrella, and the shade of a wide-leafed, tropical tree all conspired to cause my eyelids to droop precipitously.
It felt good to relax, allowing the stress of the past few months to dissipate. We were on Curie after receiving an invitation through Admiral Tullas’ office to meet with an anonymous client about a new mission. Whoever it was had even sent fifty thousand credits to cover fuel, food and lodging. It was a lot of credits to splash around, and I was doing my best to ignore the niggling feeling in the back of my mind.
We’d been fully loaded leaving Nuage Gros, delivering goods to Curie’s two moons, Irène and Ève. It had taken nearly four weeks to get to Curie and I, for one, was thinking we’d made a great decision. But then, who didn’t like a little sun and sand after an adventure? Why shouldn’t we have a nice payday, too?
“Hey! Look, I’m flying!” Tabby’s excited voice cut through the fog of sleep.
I sat up in my lounge chair and scanned the waves. My AI drew a reticle around one of the wind surfers who had launched herself off the back of a breaking wave, sailing no less than seven or eight meters in the air. I marveled at her grace.
so much for that before thanks giving release ill just have to read some other 4 books before then i guess. 😉

Hi Fenrin – I’m not sure how I missed this post. I think the books are released at midnight west coast time, but I’m not completely sure.
