Each chapter of The Ship with Red Hair adds more intrigue and suspense for readers.  The question that will certainly be asked after digesting this latest chapter is why there is seemingly a change of heart for ships to participate -- when at first --such an action was initially not taken to very well.  Could it be that the naysayers prevalent in this chapter are simply hesitant to take the next step which looks to have unknown consequences. Of course, readers may begin to come to their own conclusions as to whether there are hidden plots, agendas, or other actions behind the decisions of the major players in this novel. Such actions are the magnetic draws of the author's The Ship with Red Hair which makes the book and each chapter a true page-turner.The author does more than simply spell out what will happen next -- rather he pushes -- no urges readers to use their imagination to wonder where the next adventure will lead. Another question is whether the decision will eventually be changed and a more pragmatic or dare I say logical course of actions ensue.  Regarding the author's artful writing -- I like the style of writing used for each of the chapters -- that gets better with each new and different chapter published.  The metaphors and excellent use of language are utilized not only to visualize, but used as a means to creatively advance the story along. The skillful use of forward-thinking language by the author is evident in the chapters of the book.Now -- being faced with a cliff hanger, so to speak, you may want to inquire of the talented writer -- aside from knowing that patience is a virtue -- what's in store for the next chapters.  To coin a well-known phrase -- Enquiring minds want to know. In the meantime, this reader and I'm sure many others are waiting to see what happens next!

Chapter 1 of The Ship With Red Hair kept me on edge the whole time I read it.  I felt like I was right there alongside the main character, learning about all his training,the different type ships and hoping he did not make a mistake -- especially on the first day of his job as a Communications Officer.  

This masterpiece Chapter One is revetinig, suspenseful, exciting and most importantly -- steeped in reality.  The way the author carries the reader through the emotions, dialog and other acions of the main character is genius. I could not stop reading -- from the beginning to the end. I can't wait to find out what happens next in this world that I visualize is made up of the beauty of space as well as the ships that call this magnificent expanse their home.

Congratulations to the author, Derrick J. Hopkins, on a chapter that was not only well written -- but was engrossing as well.
I'm waiting in anticipation for the next excellent chapters.  Very well done!

Chapter Two of The Ship with Red Hair continues the suspenseful saga from Chapter One about the new Communications Officer who is in training and the ensuing exciting events.  In this chapter there is an unexpected turn as he is chosen to attend a Fleet Conference -- to his dismay and astonishment. Not only is the storyline different than any I've read before, but I can actally envision the young Communications Officer becoming excited at first with his new assignment; however, the question is -- will that excitment endure.  I enjoyed reading how the talented author, Derrick J. Hopkins, describes the happenings in Chapter Two with the distinct exchange one would imagine would transpire between a space ship's Communications Officer and his trainer.  The author takes us to the core of not only the dialog between the characters, but let us experience the resulting metaphors which in my opinion are genius.  Among the many favorable attributes, including the storyline, setting and the characters -- I was impressed with the analogies used by the author throughout including the importance of making important decisions (pun intended).This story is truly a work of literary genius. With each chapter another painting in words unfolds to not only reveal the exciting events happening in The Ship with Red Hair, but continues to show the writing of this author is beyond compare as he guides us creatively along the exciting adventures in The Ship with Red Hair.  Believe you me -- these are events where I want to have a seat -- front and center.  Keep up the excellent work! 

When I read the previous chapters of The Ship with Red Hair, I was left wondering what is going to happen next.  This holds true for Chapter 3 which is even more engrossing and attention grabbing as the previous two chapters.  The creativity of this writing style is absolutely genius.  As you read the descriptions of the scenery, coupled with the realistic dialogue, you can actually visualize the characters as they meet and interact with each other for what may be the first of many conversations.  I could visualize the glowing beverages being served at the Fleet Conference as the story line continues about the happenings at this event.  The dialogue flows smoothly and naturally, just as if you were watching the characters talk to each other on a movie screen  or in real life for that matter -- when in actuality you are  reading the prose of the characters as depicted by the talented writer.  As I read the storyline, I could emphathize with the trainee who is anxious at being at his first FC, but somehow confident that he will do an excellent job that he was chosen for.  Suffice it to say, I anxiously await each chapter.  I can rest assured that the next chapters and this whole embodiment of literature work will be sure to impress.  To the writer, I would say keep up this magnificent work.  I happily await the next chapters as the exciting story of The Ship with Red Hair continues.  Thank you for this chapter and those previous.  They certainly were good, entertaining reads that should not be missed by anyone who recognizes and enjoys the imaginative ideas, thoughts, dialogue, action and more from the talented writer of The Ship with Red Hair. Onwards and upwards!

Check out Chapter 3 of The Ship With Red Hair, an upcoming book by Derrick Hopkins. I'm looking forward to seeing how this story further develops, as well as one day getting this tale in my hands.

Yet another stellar chapter from the book, The Ship with Red Hair.  This chapter reads as if you are actually in the area with the trainee as actions take place.  The way this talente writer describes the minute details of the surroundings is quite impressive -- so much so that I can see the environment.  In fact, when I read the words of this magnificently written chapter, I can envision what is going on as if I was there with the trainee, not knowing if his ship would be called next or further down the line.  The author has an excellent way of using metaphors as well as comparisons to describe the appearances of the characters, exemplifed by the way the woman who was taking the roll call was described.  I am eagerly awaiting the other chapters.   If this one is any indication, the next chapters will be even be just as exciting and attention grabbing as the chapters before it.  This chapter also has an element of suspense, since something out of the routine is spoken during the roll call.  I'm curious what made this ship different from all the rest.  Perfect cliff hanger to draw the reader into what is going on.  I anticipate your next chapters and thank you for this chapter.  Keep up the excellent work!

An intriguing setting. I'm intensely curious where the story will go.

The artistry used in writing this chapter as well as the other chapters speaks volumes about the writer's talent in not only setting the stage for the actions, but also to enable readers to visualize the actions as they are taking place.  Nothing is spared as the author describes the characters and the environment as well as adding character conversations and dialogue for the activities that are taking place.  As you read the latest chapter in The Ship with Red Hair, you will, just as I have, sit on the edge of your seat not knowing what to expect next, but knowing it will be an interesting read.  The writer paints a picture just as clear as if you were watching it on the big screen.  I am thoroughly impressed by the level of detail demonstrated as one can envision the character being alone in this room, not knowing what to expect, and then unexpectedly surprised by the appearance of this mysterious character.Additionally, throughout this latest chapter, I was amazed at the various literary metaphors used throughout.  The author showed how magnificently the English language can be used and mastered to make the words on the pages come alive -- to the point of actuallly not only imagining the character being in this predicament, but also the feelings and deep sense of suspense shown simply by the author's gift for writing.  As such, the words seem more than just words but actual depictions of thoughts, feelings, and an array of actions that perfectly complement the scenarios in this chapter.  As I read the lines of The Ship with Red Hair, I am anticipating seeing how the story unfolds further under the guidance and direction of its talented author.

The attention-grabbing saga of The Ship With Red Hair continues with the latest chapter.  I avidly applaud the talented author for the manner in which details are laid out which ranges from the vivid decriptions of the environment to the interesting dialogue of the characters. Descriptions are creatively interwoven in the dialogue as well as in the interactions between the characters.  In addition to being a highly engaging story, the author injects humor as well so you may find yourself smiling as you read the chapter.  However, even more importantly, I think you will enjoy the overall chapter as the events unfold. It goes without saying that I enjoyed the latest chapter of The Ship with Red Hair tremendously and is on the edge of my seat waiting for the next chapter. I have no doubt that you too will also enjoy this chapter as you  experience the actions that take placed via the skilled writing gift and talent of the author.  If you read the previous chapter, you will probably know this chapter is right on cue as it picks up on the events that happens next.  I'm actually on pins and needles waiting to see what will happen with the author's next chapter.  Many kudos to the talented author for sharing this chapter.  I highly recommend you read the latest chapter of the talented author not only to follow this exciting story, but to fully appreciate how the events are laid out for you.  To the author, I would like to say -- Thanks and keep up the excellent work as you continue to reel out interesting and exciting chapters of this masterpiece -- The Ship With Red Hair. 

As the suspenseful saga of The Ship With Red Hair evolves and progresses, the mood of the story ebbs interestingly from being adventurous with sometimes humorous undertones. With that introduction -- Welcome to the latest chapter of The Ship With Red Hair which I'm sure you will enjoy reading as I did. In Chapter 11 of The Ship With Red Hair, the main character continues on a seemingly secret and stealth  mission to save the universe and humanity by having to follow through on plans that have been ordered.When you read and digest Chapter 11 of The Ship With Red Hair, you may wonder if the questions posed by the main character would somehow alert those who are protectors of the Matriarch to underlying intentions. Towards that end, I like that the talented writer guides the character on a mission to find out as much information as possible about the Matriarch. The character is visibly agitated and seems to be miffed that the person being questioned does not consider the main character to be a formidable threat. Hence those words  -- I blame ego -- was impactful along with the other dialogue as well.The questions posed to the protector of the Matriarch could be looked upon as pluses or minuses depending on your percepton.  Yes, there were plenty of questions asked with the major topic being the Matriarch and her protection and Yes, these questions were coming from a visitor who may have alterior motives behind the question. But on the other hand, it's possible the character is just curious as to what is going on -- after all, the character is being taken on a tour of sorts so in a way questions are to be expected. Or these questions could be considered simply small talk. The author leaves that up to you, the reader to decideAdditionally, through the creative thinking process demonstrated by the excellent writing of the well-renowned author, the reader is introduced to amazing, innovator  technology that could assist in carrying out the mission. I was impressed visualizing the main character standing between the tour guide and the futuristic robot as it sets out on its larger mission. Similar to how cell phones are sometimes seen as indepensable to many, so must be the com-pad that has state-of -he art capabilities.The talented writer further uses suspense to keep  readers interest by adding a time element of when an incident is due to happen.  With the time given before the mission is initiated until the misson ends, I think it would be interested to see what transpired during this time span. Sometimes suspense movies show where an will take place in a matter of  seconds.  I think it was innovating and a different twist was used with the time element in this chapter.  In my opinion, to end the chapter with a time element will leave readers, including myself on the edge of our seats waiting to see what will happen next.  I for one, am anticipating  the next chapter in this exciting continuing saga which is becoming more interesting to read as the scenarios and story develop.  To the talented author -- Keep up the excellent work!  Onwards and upwards!
