Pell Street Blues Chapter 1
BysmimbusFate wrote the first chapter of this tale some centuries ago, when it planted the seeds of mutual hate in two kindred Mongol races: in Chinese and in Manchu, and by the same token, in patient, earthbound peasant and in hawkish nomad, hard-galloping across the land, conquering it with the swish of the red sword,…

BysmimbusEven so, the brass hat had been somewhat careless with the truth, though it would not be polite to call him a liar. In the presence of Phineas Pinkham he had told Garrity that what he had to say was not a pilot’s business. But after he was gone, the Spad flyers of the Ninth…
THE BRAIN OF MANY BODIES CHAPTER III THE AIR CHIEF
BysmimbusHE CLOSED the door after him, feeling fairly confident that they wouldn’t dare raise any alarm.

A fantastic read! I particularly liked the mix of mystery and Sci-Fi elements. The characters are well drawn, convincing, and I was sitting on the edge of my seat wondering what comes next. I also enjoyed the creativity of mixing mining with nanites in a futuristic setting, which was a unique and interesting problem for the team to solve. Great work! 😉
Wow, such an exciting story! Fabulous evocation of the tech stuff.
What an exciting read! Will there be more stories in this world? I hope so!
