Site Administrator Cia Posted September 14, 2013 Site Administrator Share Posted September 14, 2013 Dr. Aron Adler is ordered to take part in a rescue mission to a research colony located on an uninhabited planet in the outer rim. He is to immediately report to the U.S.C. Cassini, which will take Aron, two other scientists, and a unit of Union Marines to the colony. Once there, they are to assess the situation and retrieve any data or specimens. Formerly a scientist in the Union Navy, Aron was dishonorably discharged following a court-martial for failing to obey orders. Stepping foot on the Cassini brings up old feelings he would rather forget. Shunned by the crew of the Cassini, Aron finds comfort in the arms—and bed—of Marine corporal Kane Robertson. Upon reaching the colony, it becomes apparent that not everything is as it seems. Once again, Aron is faced with a difficult decision: follow orders or follow his heart. Read It Now!! Link to comment
Mann Ramblings Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) When I first looked there was a prologue and chapter one posted. Then there was just chapter 1 which is now called the prologue and the previous one had different text. Was that a mis-post or did I just click on the wrong story entirely? (It could happen.) Just curious. Or did I see something I wasn't supposed to? I promise I won't tell. LOL I'm liking the current chapter one a lot. Looking forward to the rest.

advocatus diaboli Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) I noticed that too, Mann. I guess it was just a mistake. [Edit: I left a review, but this story seems quite fabulous.] Edited September 16, 2013 by advocatus diaboli Link to comment
Site Administrator Cia Posted September 16, 2013 Author Site Administrator Share Posted September 16, 2013 That was a Cia is an idiot mistake that Rob caught and I then fixed. The prologue was not from his story. Sorry for any confusion! 1 Link to comment
Mann Ramblings Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Ok, Cia. We forgive you. But just this once!!! 2 Link to comment
Daddydavek Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 The chapter 4 chapter 5 (??) just posted today is a hot, from the workout, to the shower, to the GEM Marine's room, back to the shower and back to the Marine's room. And it also advanced the plot and character development. 1 Link to comment
Mann Ramblings Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Best part is this chapter is over twice as long as all the previous chapters so you can really sink your teeth into it. 1 Link to comment
Slytherin Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 It took me 7 chapters to figure out/remember that Dr. Aron Adler was a character in The Degan Incident Link to comment

Rob Colton Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Hi everybody! I finally can see this thread. I'm glad you are all enjoying the story. I had a good time writing it. It took me a while to get it to this stage, but I'm very happy with it. After this last chapter, the cover might be a little more clear. Now you have an idea of what Aron is holding. I think Chris did a fantastic job capturing the feel of the story while also giving it some visual continuity with his Degan Incident cover. Anyway, our heroes aren't quite out of the woods yet... Stay tuned for next week's chapter. Rob 1 Link to comment
Daithi Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I love this story, hopefully Bradley gets what he deserves and I'm glad Kenji made it through can't wait for next weeks update Link to comment
Slytherin Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I've been a fan of Robs stories for a long time and I think this story is one of the best ! Link to comment
Mann Ramblings Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I was pretty sure the drama wasn't over yet. I'm so glad to be right! Link to comment
Daddydavek Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Yeah, our hero Aron stuck in an old pile of junk and the military-industrial complex is in cahoots with illegal lab that went awry. I suspect that Aron and Kenji were expected to die on the mission from the beginning and they still may. Link to comment
Mann Ramblings Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 that would remove their links and knowledge of the stolen research for sure. Link to comment
Rob Colton Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Bradley did say he was under orders to terminate Aron. That would apply to Kenji as well... Link to comment
Rob Colton Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 So both the final chapter and the epilogue went live today. I hope everyone enjoyed the story. If you have any questions or comments, let me know! Oh, here's a "behind the scenes" tidbit... Kenji did in fact die during the first draft of the story. I really liked Kenji, though, and I had been wrestling with changing it. When Cia beta-read it for me, she convinced me to keep him alive. Rob Link to comment
Former Member Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 So excited that Peri had a cameo! Whoohoo! Can't wait for the next one! Link to comment
Mann Ramblings Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 So sad it's over. I think the next story should appear really really really soon. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease? 1 Link to comment
knotme Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I too am sorry it's over, but if one were preparing a sequel (hint), this would be a good place to break. Link to comment
Mann Ramblings Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 The best part is that there will be a sequel. Rob said so and we're holding him to it. The worst part is we will have to wait for it to be written. Link to comment
