Nomad Omnibus 03: A Kurtherian Gambit Series (A Terry Henry Walton Chronicles Omnibus)

by Craig Martelle

  “Nomad’s Earth,” Char whispered

  “Nomad’s Galaxy,” Terry replied.

  The End of Nomad’s Galaxy

  Don’t stop now! Keep turning the pages as both Craig & Michael talk about their thoughts on this book and the overall project called the Terry Henry Walton Chronicles.

  Terry Henry Walton & Charumati will return in a new series – The Bad Company, working for Nathan Lowell at the behest of General Lance Reynolds to help with the expansion of the Etheric Federation. Coming October-ish, 2017 as part of the Age of Expansion…

  Author Notes - Craig Martelle

  Written August 10, 2017

  Thank you for reading to this point. That is incredible!!!!! You did it – you read all ten books and are still reading.

  Holy crap!

  Three-quarters of a million words later, we have covered one-hundred fifty years of time between the World’s Worst Day Ever and when Michael returns to Earth. Fahrvergnugen!

  What an incredible ride.

  Is this the end of Terry and Char? Hell no!

  The story of Terry and Char on Earth ends with Book 10, but there's a whole galaxy out there that needs to be explored. Nomad's Galaxy - an end and a beginning.

  I had to re-read Dark Messiah and the Darkest Night to ensure that I got the elements from Michael’s story correct within the confines of this one. There is an overlap at the end as you’ve already learned and we were meticulous in making sure that things aligned. We also brought in some of our biggest fans to double check for us.

  This book will make a great deal of sense to those who have read Dark Messiah (The Second Dark Ages) and Justice is Calling (Reclaiming Honor series). If you haven’t, then that is perfectly fine. This book overlaps with those two in order to put a bow on the Terry Henry Walton Chronicles while tying everything together.

  There are Easter eggs scattered throughout the book. They come in all shapes and sizes, from off-handed 80s pop references, to good ol’ Marine Corps trivia, there’s a little something for everyone. Maybe on the second read you might catch something that escaped you on the first pass.

  Re-reading books is the greatest testament to a well-spun yarn. I’ve heard from a number of folks who have read this series at least a couple times. That is incredible. That’s a lot of words to grind through. Thank you for sharing your time with us.

  Back in my Marine Corps days, I was always sucking wind on group runs, so I only partially remembered the Jody calls. Never fear, this is the age of the internet, so I looked them up for you.

  Shout out to Yuuut for memorializing the best of the cadence calls which helped me remember enough to put it into the text.

  The final analysis of my garden. The hover bunnies (left no footprints, yet ate everything off right to the ground) cleaned us out – only the zucchini plant survived and it grew some righteously big leaves, but few zucchini. Next year, herbs and zucchini only. I have high hopes that I’ll be able to manage that without the mass casualties we experienced this year.

  Thank you to everyone who has been so critical in making this series the runaway success that it has become. I know I thanked people in the last book, but dammit! They deserve to be recognized here, too!

  My editor Mia Darien who puts up with the first drafty kind-of-stuff that I send her. Our cover artist, Andrew Dobell who took the original pictures of the models who would become Terry and Char. He turned those into a big bunch o’ covers for us, with many more to come as we see them in The Bad Company.

  Diane Velasquez, Dorene Johnson, & Kat Lind – these good people make sure the overall story arc remains on track. Diane and Dorene have been maintaining a searchable concordance of all the words in Terry and Bethany Anne’s universe. That keeps us honest.

  Kelly O’Donnell, Sherry Foster, James Caplan, Leo Roars, Micky Cocker, Thomas Ogden, John Findlay, Maria Stanley, and so many more who have beta read these books for us, catching typos, and making sure that when we published, it was to a professional standard.

  Our readers are simply the best! You leave us great reviews (and if you’re still reading, please drop a note on Amazon, give us a few stars and even a word or two helps). It sucks to ask more of you – buying and reading the book should be enough. :)

  And Michael called me Lord of the Cosmos as a promotion from Awesome Craig. So LotC it is as we go forward, into the cosmos, continuing our journey together. Here’s a picture of my home, under the aurora, in the sub-arctic of Alaska.

  Author Notes - Michael Anderle

  Written August 18th, 2017

  First, THANK YOU for not only reading this book, but reading all TEN books and now? Now you are reading the last author note for The Terry Henry Chronicles written by Craig Martelle, with collaboration support, suggestions and universe created by Michael Anderle.

  I have mentioned before that Craig was the first author which I reached out to ask if he would be willing to write in The Kurtherian Gambit Universe. The short reason was I needed something post-apocalyptic to answer fan’s questions, and I can’t write post-apocalyptic / make stuff and survive (and make it believable).

  But, he could.

  Now, ten books later and just over three-quarters of a million words, Craig is the first of my collaborators to finish a series and I think it is awesome.

  Finis, finished, fineto.

  Done.

  Only, it isn’t done, is it? Bethany Anne (in 4 books – number 21) will be coming back to Earth, and she has something for Terry Henry and Char to do.

  Just, this time they are doing it ‘out there’. Allowing the FDG a chance to stretch their legs, and see the Universe while doing that which they do best.

  Protecting those who can’t protect themselves.

  Now, here is something else that the indomitable Mr. Martelle is doing – he is helping to manage the Age of Expansion (AOE) Universe. Not only is he going to be supporting other series and shepherding them in the AOE, he is going to be writing the spin-off series “Bad Company” during the Age of Expansion as well.

  In short, he is going to be really, really busy.

  Craig is an amazing individual, and I am blessed to be associated with him. His ethics are resolute, his efforts are superhuman and his humor keeps me in stitches.

  In short, he is a damned fine Marine and a hell of a man.

  Further, my hats off to ALL of the beta readers / editors / JIT Readers Craig mentioned in his Author notes, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart, as well.

  Going forward, we are busy preparing multiple series for publishing in the Age of Expansion with Amy DuBoff, JN Chaney, Justin Sloan and Tommy Donbavand working behind the scenes with our first AOE author, Ell Leigh Clarke to provide you with the stories of what is happening in the Etheric Empire as it morphs into the Etheric Federation.

  And no, we aren’t stopping there. There will be a
new Bethany Anne series after the 21 Book Kurtherian Gambit is finished.

  Bethany Anne will be back, and this time, Michael will be with her.

  THANK YOU for taking this trip with us, and please understand we CAN’T do it without your support.

  Best Regards,

  Michael Anderle
