Finis is available for download!

Post by drew »

Delighted (and a little bit proud) to announce that Finis is now available for download.

Launching this from the 'Coach and Horses' Pub in London with Giles, Micha, Kaks, Daddyhoggy, Drew, Ramirez, ClymAngus, another_commander, and Thargoid (and beer!) Right on, Commanders!

Once again, if you could see yourself willing to give a donation to charity given this is offered free and gratis, I'd be most appreciative.

Feedback on the story welcome below as always, in the finest traditions of the board.

... http://www.wagar.org.uk is proud to present ...

... A Creative Commons Production ...

... Part 4 of the Oolite Saga ...

... Finis ...

Cheers,

Drew.

Got it! Thanks, Drew! :D :D :D
You know those who, having been mugged and stabbed, fired, dog run over, house burned down, wife eloped with best friend, daughters becoming prostitutes and their countries invaded - still say that "all is well"?
I'm obviously not one of them.

Found a typo: on page 100, last line, you have hanger instead of hangar.

Spelling and grammar mistake alert!!

Page 65 : "‘There is no need to resort to ad hominum attacks,’ Daddyhoggy replied, with distain."

Should read: "‘There is no need to resort to ad hominum attacks,’ Daddyhoggy replied with disdain."

He probably replicated a new one.*

* Too bad there are no replicators in the Ooniverse. Maybe a device that uses ship energy to produce cargo, namely food?

Ooops, I guess all the proof readers missed that one. There are six instances throughout the text where hanger appears instead of hangar.
