DON’T MISS THE FIRST INSTALLMENT IN THE STAR WOLF SAGA:
The Voyage of the Star Wolf (September 2003)
1 Fusion-driven high-mass electromagnetic plasma accelerators used for subluminal (slower than light) velocities.
2 The lowest-ranking crew member gets no insignia at all for his or her collar. Ensigns get plain circular pips. Chief officers get narrow bars. Lieutenants get beveled bars. Lieutenant commanders get beveled triangles. Commanders get diamond-shaped insignia. Captains get stars. Admirals get multiple stars and ulcers.
3 A modernized form of zen, the zyne is a philosophical derivative of the study of the “technology of consciousness.” The zyne is not psychological in nature; indeed, it is very anti-psychology in its thrust, in that the zyne postulates that there is no such thing as a “mind,” only a “conversation” that distinguishes itself (falsely) as a mind. The distinction is tricky and may take months or years of training to grasp.
This book is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places and incidents are the product of the author’s imagination and are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual events, locales or persons, living or dead, is coincidental.
