“I don’t expect that all of my admirals will like each other. “Enough,” yelled Sean, looking from holographic face to face, taking in the smiling visage of Mgonda and the scowling expression of Sondra McCullom as well. I doubt if you would have done any better against Mrastaran. “Why you trumped up, arrogant little child,” said Beata in a low voice. Here it comes, thought Sean, preparing himself for the backlash. “I’m sure he won’t give an experienced fleet commander the same level of difficulty.” “A secondary campaign on a secondary front,” scoffed Len, his eyes boring into the image of Bednarczyk. He still wasn’t sure if she was on the level of Lenkowski or Mgonda, but she was damned close. His respect for Bednarczyk had gone up several notches after going over her records from the battles. After studying the battle extensively, he could see that any human commander would have had trouble dealing with him. He happened to agree with her as far as this new Emperor was concerned. Sean could tell from her expression that she was trying to hold back some comments. I counsel caution where he is concerned.” “Sure, they sometimes get lucky, but they always seem to make the same mistakes, over and over.” “They’re all dumb as rocks,” continued Len. She was developing the diplomacy to fit in with her elevation to Countess. She was actually developing some diplomatic acumen. Beata had a reputation of saying what she meant, no matter how much it hurt the feelings of the one she was talking too. So please take this the right way when I say that you are letting your own arrogance get in the way of a thoughtful approach to the problem.” That isn’t saying much.”Īdmiral Lenkowski,” said the Countess Grand Fleet Admiral Beata Bednarczyk, attending the conference from over nine thousand light years away, in the Nation of New Earth. “I don’t see what all the fuss is about this new Emperor,” said Grand Fleet Admiral Gabriel Len Lenkowski. Things change when I am writing, and the Cacas may be around longer than I figured. This sets up a new story arc that will continue into several more books, setting up the finale’ for the series. They are into hit and run, using tactics from Earth’s past and new technologies to set up ambushes in furthering their new objectives. The Caca fleet is no longer tasked with impossible mission that were leading to their destruction. The immature Emperor who thought with his glands is no longer in charge, and the thinking admiral, Mrastaran, is in his place. If you have read the last two books, you know that something has changed for the Ca’cadasan empire.

Just over two months is still better than the five it took for book 15.
