ALIEN: MANTICORE 'Paradise'

MemberPraetorianOctober 17, 2017ALIEN: MANTICORE's direct-sequel ALIEN: MANTICORE 'Paradise' is well underway, and now sits at just over 12 thousand words at 4 chapters.
1: Same ship and crew, but some upgrades and new toys.
2; It's set about a year and some after ALIEN: MANTICORE.
3; Ship-to-ship combat is very much a thing in this story, and more than just some quick, one-sided skirmish.
Also, it's not done according to the 'Star Trek' school of ship-vs-ship combat.
4; There's someone out there a LOT scarier and much more mysterious than Weyland-Yutani.
5; Artificial Intelligence features heavily in this story, but probably in ways most folks don't quite expect.
I will be posting Excerpts, but keep in mind that the excerpts are from the RAW 1st draft.

dk Thank-you very much for what you said!! I really appreciate the sentiment and the info--it's always nice to know what people Like, as it helps me insofar as to make sure things stay on-track. :D
I'm glad you enjoyed the little peek into the Sequel, and that's the great thing about books--you can always go back re-read or just skim through to refresh one's memory. :)

Sorry for being out-of-touch, life has a way of making our mortal plans nothing but excercises in sheer folly.
The Sequel is coming along, slowly as I'm trying to keep it congruent to what's actually going on in the ALIEN Franchise.
However, they're taking forever, and I'm not sure anyone really know what direction they're going in.
That said, I will be doing the sequel congruent and relative to established Canon and Continuity. That's how I did ALIEN: Manticore and it worked out pretty well it seems from the positive responses. :D
The BIG issue is my faithful workhorse for 15 years--my laptop--finally reached the end of it's life, so I need to replace it and get a recovery service to pull everything off it's drive...as in there is where the sequel is. I have backups, but the workhorse dies just before a planned update.
SO, the sequel is going ahead--even if I have to restart it from scratch.
It might not match up to whatever happens in the Franchise, but it will match-up to what has been established.
It will cover what I have come up with regarding the origins of The Alien--maybe--but it will definitely demonstrate the difference between David's critters vs The Big Chap itself. ;)
Thank-You VERY much for your interest in my work, I really needed that little boost right now!! To you all, I wish you and your loved ones good health and good days!!
