The next Pinwheel story starts now!

At the edge of a newly colonized star system, a mysterious alien derelict drifts into sensor range, where it's boarded by curious PDF troopers. What they discover is a message in a bottle - an SOS call that sends a Coalition strike group deep into unknown territory in search of its origin.

Here we Gooooooo

vetro 26

Sooooo ready!

Mas

LET’S GOOOO

Moon Dragon

I never read these a little at a time, while they're being released in bits and pieces (genuinely no hate, that's just a personal preference), but I'm really looking forward to reading it all at once after it's finished. I've been itching for a new Pinwheel story.

JH

I still need to read like 9 more stories but last fucking go

Splutty

Man. This one sounds interesting... Do I attempt to follow along or wait for the book release.. ARGH!

mraanonymous

question. I know its a weird thing to focus on. But the first named character- Jakobs. Is it pronounced a big A or a small a? Meaning, do we call him JAck-obs or is it Jake-obs? I lose sleep over shit like this.

Noximilien l'horloger

Most likely spelled as jake-obs, just like jacob is spelled jake-ob

Glitch

Oh man, this is gonna be awesome!

John May

Finally we meet our new Synapsid friends after 6 long years!

Wicked

As much I have looked forward to the Jakkar, kinda disappointed that they are somewhat giants from the hints we get. Another giant species I guess.

D-Man

Lets goooooooooo!!!

Noximilien l'horloger

We have also got quite a few none giant species, broker, jarilan, valbaran. Its the borealan and krell who are the only really tall ones right now. I guess jarilan pilots are a bit taller The empire species do seem to be on the taller side overal though, butt we have only seen the combat or ruling class for now, so plenty of room for other ones to be present

Wicked

I have already taken to an account of other species that aren't 8ft (except for Jarilan pilots who are 7ft?). I'm still gonna read the stories to come. It's just personal opinion and issue. I just vision the Jakkar as maybe a head taller than a human or a bit taller than human in general, not 8+ft or whatever they're gonna be.

Btw, does Harmony have a strike group around itself or is it just one ship

Snekguy

Carriers always operate alongside strike groups, yes, and a Supercarrier can have an especially large one due its huge superlight manifold!

Noximilien l'horloger

Cool thats what i hoped, thought for a second it said that the Supercarrier alone took out a hive and that seemed too much

Snekguy

It's actually referencing the events of the comic book 'Harmony of Guns' which you can read on the website or on here.

Noximilien l'horloger

The story that introduced the Harmony? Already read it, didnt remember it included the hive and strike group

Btw how does Jarilan manufacturing impact the design of UNN ships? Like how is the biological aspect incorporated into the existing design. To me this is fascinating to think about. Including vehicles and aircraft, so many cool possibilities.

Dreadcrown_of_Swarms

There was an anatomical and design breakdown a while back, it’s basically a standard UNN ship exterior wise, but with Jarilan internal “scaffolding” that can unfold to embrace damaged craft.

Hello, Snekguy. I just read your latest posting for this book. I need to ask- NEED- please tell me we are going to get one or multiple sex scenes with the princess Jarilian Iris! I need to read that giant of a supercomputer riding a marine. I'm guessing its going to be that admiral? Gotta have something to do in that tin can for months. Its already established that the Jarries have a favorite way to pass the time and relax. ... Please.

Random question bc im re-reading Autumn War. Do ship's exit jumpspace facing the same direction they left in? When the fleet is jumping to surround Kerguela, they are all leaving the same place but arriving in different points around the planet. Do they need to turn around once they arrive or can they plot a course having them facing the correct direction upon exit from jumpspace?

Time to read it from the very beginning everytime there is an update to the story, because it is that goated.

ElephantTalk

Man I can already tell this story is going to be an absolute treat. Having recently reread some of your older works it is impressive to see just how much you writing and story telling skills have improved over time, not to say that I don't still enjoy your older works.

They first jump in a long distance away, so it probably didnt matter if they had to spend a minute to turn around for the second smaller jump

Snekguy

Snekguy

Correct, ships maintain whatever momentum they had prior to jumping, along with their direction. They could reorient prior to jumping, or afterwards.

I hope we get to see a lot more of Roguz, I have always wondered how first contact between humanity and the Borealans (presumably the Elysians first and foremost) went down. Despite the physical similarities their psychology and broad cultural mentalities are so different that I've never been able to picture how any kind of first contact between the two wasn't a total mess that inevitably descended into violence even with careful planning and extensive study from orbit.

ElephantTalk

"We tiny people are here to protect you from bug monsters you've never seen, also we need your soldiers" seems like it would be a hard sell to even the most mild tempered Borealan that has already had a degree of exposure to humanity, let alone one to which to concept of alien life is entirely novel and to which every social interaction involves very well defined roles of dominance and submission

It would be fun to explore it in a prequel story one day.

ElephantTalk

That would be really awesome, doubly so with how much you have improved as a writer and story teller since some of the earliest Pinwheel stories where the Borealans and Elysians in particular were introduced. Again not to say I don't enjoy your older works but the difference between them and what you are able to create now is night and day in my opinion, it really is impressive.

I must check this at least 5 times a day to see if there is an update. And being a lazy writer myself I feel guilty for it. I already want to see the giant low gravity space raptors to get some relief! Not to mention praise. "So...we owe our collective species ability to fight back without being rear guarded to your vhs using insane warrior culture" If that dosent deserve a drink and a steak sandwich nothing does!

2000 word update, new content at ‘It was only a taste of what was to come.’

Hamerad

Love the story so far. I do have one question. How come the Jakkari appear to be basically humans but with alien bodies? The perspective of Naruk seems very human. The same military terminology, the same slang, even the same curse words. I get that they would likely be saying similar things, but it does seem a little strange they are using exactly the same words as humans. But maybe that is just me

Snekguy

The Jakkari do have a very developed language of their own, they have an alphabet, about 50 different words, and a lot of phrases. Their word for demon/enemy for example is Telal. The armor they wear is Atukkar. Gatekeeper is Gal-Koru. All of the vehicles and weapons have their own names. The problem is, if I lean too heavily into that, it kind of becomes gobbledygook and it gets very hard for the reader to keep track of. It starts to get disruptive and ruin the flow beyond a point. We're seeing a translated perspective from the Jakkari PoV, so terminology like ranks or military terms are translated for convenience, because it would be very cumbersome otherwise. When they say Knight-Sergeant, that's a translation of the rank, it's not literal. Otherwise it would be called Koru-Bintma or something and it wouldn't have any immediate meaning to the reader. The IFV is called a Grogir, the rifle they use is a Tukul, the name for the fortress would be Bit-Tuklati, but I have to be pretty conservative in what words and terms I use or it gets overwhelming. You'll see a lot more of that when they start interacting with humans and are using their own untranslated language more.

Oh yeah. It’s starting to become increasingly apparent that the Maksim are just ontologically corrupt and evil. We got maybe ONE who was a good person and they died. The rest of them are just cowards or bullies. Now, whether or not the Maksim and commissariat are just incompetent or are legitimately sacrificing anyone they don’t like, I don’t know. You’ve done a fantastic job depicting the Jakkari’s sheer desperation to such a degree that it’s hard to tell if the cruelty of the Maksim is just mindless violence and power trips of evil people in power, or if it really is a necessary evil to keep the people from breaking down into mass riots of useless chaos in the face of the existential threat of Betelgeusian annihilation. Now, even if the latter is true, I still get a smile on my face when a Maksim gets their shit rocked. Commissars are just consistently reprehensible no matter what franchise, slime ‘em all I say. And the Hadeans WOULD have some very loud things to say about the Maksims’ bullshit. GO HADES!

Arctrooper209

It could be the Maskim job has its roots in a necessary evil but grown to be unnecessarily evil. After all, plenty of militaries going back to ancient times have used violence and executions to maintain order and in some cases to convince the troops that you have more to fear from your commanding general than you do the enemy. However, in many of these instances it wasn’t a separate class of political officers, but rather the regular command chain. I think having officers with such power come from a different organization is dangerous because it can lead to a superiority complex where the Maskim see themselves as separate and aloof from these “lowly” non-political soldiers, which leads to more abuses of power. Stretch this thinking out over hundreds of years and it just becomes a core part of the organization. Also, totally agree about the Hadeans. I imagine the Hadean soldiers getting flashbacks to how SWAR treated their people.
