All, thank you for the support. 

Based on some of the  great feedback I have received I have revised the first 3 chapters to tighten them up and improve the plot. They are now up on Inkshares.

As the Geek and Sundry Hard Science Fiction contest is winding down in only a few days I want to thank everyone that has supported me in this project. The response and feedback were great. I appreciate how friends and family have come out to support me and how people I do not know have embraced my first efforts into becoming an author.

I also want to thank the teams at Inkshares and Geek and Sundry for holding this contest, I have learned a lot.

I would like to also thank Purple Toga for their support in this project. Some of the competitors are offering mug or t-shirts, but Purple Toga is offering a free book with pre-orders of mine.  Details are at www.purpletoga.com/deals 

  Thank you all again, and good luck to my competitors.

Eric
