Life is still serving us lemons, and I'm overwhelmed with trying to turn them all into lemonade. but I found this article through my feeds on Defence News.
I also have a friend who is working on 5G connectivity for the Army, link in the picture below.
So, as you can imagine from reading my books, these are both very interesting projects as they show I wasn't too far off extrapolating the tech needed for my near future Mil-SF stories.
Currently I'm wrestling with a short story, project title: Omake – Japanese for Extra –The story of what happens to the lost robot explorer team seen briefly in my second novel.
I had planned to include this as an epilogue in Strike Dog, but readers thought it left too many questions hanging like a loose thread, and so I cut it out. Since then I've gone and expanded what was a couple of short paragraphs into several thousand words of odd snippets.
My plan is to turn these into a bunch of short stories about an android and robot dog.
But first I have to knock all the fragments I've written into a coherent narrative, rather than the number of short 'cool' scenes I have compiled. So, I intend to use the Omake name for a collection of these shorts, as and when I can get my ass into gear.
And, I haven't thought of a good title for the first of the tales of the android and his robodog, and what happened to them, their discoveries, and the consequences for them and mankind.
Keep well, stay safe, and catch you all on the bounce.
