Chapter 7 - "Sierra Lament"
The HDR Liberator arrives at the planet Sierra Lament, just outside of Republic space. A vanguard team make planetfall, aware of the limitations of the atmosphere: it's barely liveable, but there is too much oxygen. This also has a serious limitation to their defence in that normal ballistic firearms risk setting fire to the people using them, and so they have to use alternatives.

Chapter 6 - "Departure"
Tradition dictates a launching ceremony for every inaugural voyage, and the HDR Liberator is no exception. Captain Carl Schafer would rather just launch and be damned, but these little formalities must be observed. Once the new flagship is officially launched, it merely needs to travel to the edge of the Triskele system to the jumpgate and begin their journey to the mission destination.

Manna doesn't WANT to hurt the gang of punks standing in her way. But, they seem to have forgotten just who - and what - Manna Ken is. And, she's more than willing to remind them l, metal beats flesh. Every time.
Chapter 5 - "Icebreaker"
The senior crew meet for the first time. They are aware of each other from the profiles they have been given upon assignment, but now they face each other in awkward silence ahead of the briefing. Schafer decides to initiate an icebreaker, a tradition he has always loathed but nonetheless appreciates. Humanity might have conquered the stars, but it still flounders with social introductions.

Inspiration can come from anywhere. Just ask author Cory O'Brien who — in this exclusive interview — says he was inspired to write his new cyberpunk noir science fiction mystery novel "Two Truths And A Lie" after seeing a classmate's costly art project.

Mech fire support: essential for those bug exterminations. Especially when the bugs are the size of a buffalo.

Chapter 4 - "Voight"
Commander Ellen Voight is consulting with Doctor Akari Takuma in regard to the readiness of the medical centre when she meets her new commanding officer for the first time. Only her new captain's approach leaves her feeling indignant as he questions whether she has enough experience for the role.

Chapter 3 - "Varma"
On his way to board his new command, Schafer encounters his new Ground Operations head, Major Sanjeev Varma. Youthful-looking and somewhat earnest, Schafer struggles to reconcile the image of the man before him with the stories he has heard of him.

In my new interview with author A.G. Rodriguez about his novel "Space Brooms!", he mentions Douglas Adams, Kurt Vonnegut, and "Futurama" as influences. So, obviously, this science fiction space opera novel is very, very serious, maybe even academic. Here's the link to this Q&A.

Don't let her simple appearance fool you. There's a lot hidden beneath the surface of The Iron Angel, Manna Ken.
Chapter 1 - "Prologue"
It's the end of the revolution against the Triskele Corporation. The last sputtering naval battles occur in orbit around the capital planet of Triskele whilst the people besiege Villa Triskele's citadel.
