Continuum: Disunion by JJ Robinson II A novel, about 88,000 words #QuestPit #Q #A #SF Fugitives from a massacre are pursued to an unexplored planet, where they must find a way to stop their conflict or face the extinction of the human species. A "concept board" for the story Continuum 1: DISUNION, a novel of ~88,000 words by JJ Robinson II. A matrix of murder, treachery, and betrayal on a blue-green field, a volcanic eruption piercing clouds above, a village and its fields along a canal, a frail aircraft over open ocean, a giant extinct pterodactyl, a nuclear explosion. In the center, a small, aerodynamic spacecraft approaches the edge of a terrifying abyss, with the planet's two suns beyond. Text: [-A revolution against tyranny is destroyed, hope is lost -An interstellar civilization on the brink of collapse -AI achieves sentience, with terrible consequences -An ~infinitely corrupt bureaucracy tries to cover up its crimes at any cost -Humanity faces extinction from events on an unknown world -Truth is learned, Redemption found, Love rediscovered]

Return of the Nigerian Prince Redux: Beware Book Club and Book Review Scams - Writer Beware
A few weeks ago, I wrote about a rising and extremely prolific marketing scam that I’ve been able to trace back to operators in Nigeria. Using highly personalized (AI-generated) email solicitations that make it seem the sender (always with a Gmail address, always presenting as a marketing or PR expert) has really read the book,Read More

The right-wing general doesn’t even pretend his rivals have committed a crime, but rather cracks down “purely as a precautionary measure,” with an investigation to follow of the men he targeted. Pangalos simultaneously orders confiscation of “military” weapons from all Greeks. 2/2

'I only really need to know if you have the materials to generate the carrier wave, per page four of the first document. If you can do that, the rest should be straightforward. For someone of your expertise.' A little flattery never hurt when asking a favour.

The commandments, Don’t commit adultery, don’t murder, don’t steal, don’t desire what others have, & any other commandments, are all summed up in one word: You must love your neighbor as yourself. Love doesn’t do anything wrong to a neighbor; therefore, love fulfills the Law.

HiPOD: Stacked!

Sedimentary layers are stacked one atop another in this view of Danielson Crater, north of Meridiani Planum. The deposits, that cover most of the crater floor, have been deeply eroded, exposing regular layers that resemble stair steps.

Enhanced color cutout shows large, sedimentary layers that have a stair-step appearance within Danielson Crater on Mars. The scene is less than 1 km, under 1 mile across.

A word we should all know right now:

pelf (n): money, especially when gained in a dishonest or dishonorable way

"The shootings and the chains and the concentration camps are not simply the transient tools but the very altars of modern dictatorships. They may talk of a 'new order' in the world, but what they have in mind is... an unholy alliance of power and pelf"—FDR, 1940

Love.

1 Corinthians 13
Love. 1 Corinthians 13 1 Corinthians 13 Modern English Version 13 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I have become as sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, and have not love, it profits me nothing. 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love envies not; love flaunts not itself and is not puffed up, 5 does not behave itself improperly, seeks not its own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil; 6 rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. 8 Love never fails. But if there are prophecies, they shall fail; if there are tongues, they shall cease; and if there is knowledge, it shall vanish. 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect comes, then that which is imperfect shall pass away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, and I thought as a child. But when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see as through a glass, dimly, but then, face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know, even as I also am known. 13 So now abide faith, hope, and love, these three. But the greatest of these is love.

The instrument uses a rosin-coated wheel instead of a bow. Amazing that it originated in the 10th Century.

Humans corrupt everything they touch. "Civilization" has never worked, and never will. Only One is worthy to rule over us.
Revelation 5:11-12
Revelation 5:11-12 11 Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voices of many angels, numbering ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing!”

The most dangerous person in the room. From Hard Parole, book 1 in my sci-fi series.

Block of text reads: But they needed her. And if he had any hope of getting off this barren, floating rock alive, with the only accessible Inbetween Navigator who’d seen active duty and was still hopefully sane, she was going to have to respect him. Which meant that he could not show any weakness. Any fear. Even though she scared the hell out of him. Unlike many of his colleagues, he didn’t shy away from fear. Fear kept you sharp. Fear kept you alive. And he was a man who believed in using every tool in his arsenal. He stepped into a small room with only two chairs and a table between them. Made from indestructible Duralex and attached to the floor. Nothing that could be used a weapon. Except her body. He’d watched the vid of her close-quarters sparring. Not the best he’d ever seen, but close. And one of the most creative. It was educational. After five years of starvation, he knew the odds were with him if push came to shove. But she’d have the motivation and nothing to lose; he couldn’t let it come to that. He turned to her—she was a scant foot away—and indicated a chair, his heart pounding. “Please.” She sat nonchalantly, leaning back like she was sunning herself on a damn starliner. But her eyes were ice.
