Oolite Bulletins

Dear all,

A little something for the weekend.

It is with great pleasure that I present to you my completed fiction:

A quick knock together cover for now until I make a better one.

Copious amount of thanks to everyone for their encouragement and inspiration.

!m!

One nitpick: it's spelled "novella" (except you mean it as a colloquial short form for "telenovela"; I somehow doubt that you've produced a TV drama series, though ). Whether it should be capitalized I leave for more competent people to decide.

Like I say, hacked the over together in a spare 5 minutes at work.
Spent at least an hour getting the EPUB file right.

A better cover will be incoming, it's the contents I was cocerned more about at the moment.

Many thanks to you

Just downloaded. I will read it tomorrow.

BTW, if anyone wants any different formats done, just let me know and I'll upload them.

!m!

Excellent! Downloading for the weekend read. Edit:It's on my Kindle ready to go...

Well done for finishing this, I know how much hard work it is!

Cheers,

Drew.

The keyboard in the picture looks a little like an Amiga A600

I think it's actually a BBC Master. It's from a picture that was made at the original Elite launch time and featured the Beeb in the cockpit of the Cobra Mk3...

This geek alert was brought to you by Drew Wagar.

Cheers,

Drew.

The picture is in fact from the original BBC elite manual which I suspect was before the master had been released.

It's a great piece of stylising that incorporated the BBC micro into the picture and the main display even looks a little like an original CUB monitor.

For me that one picture helped fix the idea of what the Cobra's cockpit looked like.
That manual also has some other excellent hand drawn bits of artwork such as the original ships, a special paintjob on a Python and the interior of an Anaconda cargo bay.

I recently bought myself a copy of that manual to geek over.

!m!

Started reading this last night. It's excellent so far, well worth the download.

Cheers,

Drew.

Started to read it too this morning, so far it is great...

One thing, though... Did I read correctly?

The cover pic is not included in the PDF file. Is that intended?

Ahhh that should be included.
I'll sort that out as soon as I get a moment.

As I said before, new cover to be done.

I finished reading it this evening.
I enjoyed it very much from the begining to the end with a story in the true spirit of the Ooniverse.

Really great reading!
Looking for a sequel now or at least some news of how the war is going on (no spoiler intented)
Thanks a lot Maaarcooose.
