ken barber Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 The end of January is the Second Anniversary of the Revolutions Universe. For two years authors have been writing and collaborating on the flow of stories. Writing in a Universe has its own unique challenges and rewards. Each story has to be carefully plotted against the master timeline and The other stories. Working hand in hand with other authors as an amazing opportunity for growth and learning. To Mark this momentous occasion Roland, ("New Beginnings") Eric Aune ("Changing Connections") and Ken Barber ("Dawns Early Light") have created a 9 chapter mini-series combining all three stories. As the Characters perform a daring mission, the kicks of the actual war of the Civil War, they are faced with with decisions and actions they have never even imagined and attempt feats many would never even consider. This is one you will not want to miss. The 9 chapter mini-series will be post over 9 consecutive days. More to follow..............

Mark C. Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Wow, what a treat! Now, I have read your's Ken but still have not read other two stories. Should I make an effort to read them before the mini-series comes out? ken barber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfhighlander Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 I leave it up to you, but the other stories lead directly into this mini series. By reading the other stories you will be introduced to the characters that are in the mini series and the events leading up to the mini series.

Mark C. Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 I pretty much thought that was the case but I was hoping I would not have to redo my Read list yet o n c e again, grin... I started using a pencil since I have to rewrite it so often with all the great reads on this site and new items rolling out constantly. Thanks for the suggestion (really!), Eric.

Al Norris Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Just a sample. A teaser. A trailer, if you will: "Sabre Squadron this is Sabre 1 move to Flight combat formation. 13 break flight 4 off and link up with Air Force 1." "Flight 4 breaking off." "IFF and area radar Go live now. Stay sharp boys." "I have Justice 1 on Radar. Sabre 5 take Flight 2 and begin your turn to take up escort positions. Flight 1 and 3 will move past and clear any chasers." "Sabre 1 this is Sabre 13 we have Air Force 1 on radar, on course. Holy Shit Air Force 2 and NEACAP are in the air. " "Sabre 13 verify Air Force 2 and NEACAP in the air." "Roger 1 and making tracks north." Commander Voltz thought for a second, nothing in the briefing mission mentioned Air Force 2 or NEACAP. That meant only one thing. "Flight 3 splash Air Force 2 and NEACAP." "Roger moving into attack formation." The four jets in flight 3 rocketed forward in V-formation closing the gap. The large lumbering planes would not stand a chance if they closed the distance before they engaged. "Sabre 1, Sabre 2 we have a flight of F-16s firing on Justice 1. Justice 1 is making evasive maneuvers and damn that big bitch is dancing." "Flight 1 V-formation. Come across the nose of Justice 1 use her bulk to hide us." "Flight 3 moving into attack position on Air Force 2." And that partial scene, is just one of dozens of scenes. ken barber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfhighlander Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Hey, Mark I read fast. Plus some of them are duplicated on a few sites, so there are a few repeats in the list.

JoeWriterMan Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 After reading the entire JFA series in one fell swoop last night and early this morning, my first response was "Wowie ... I just read all chapters of JFA at one sitting - holy cow - GOOD JOB! AWE-SOME!" It was definitely one of those stories that I couldn't put down. I will warn you, dear readers, that if you like cliffhangers then you are in for a treat! Each chapter ends in a cliffhanger. Not to worry, though. They will be posted one after another on successive days - woo hoo! So, you will not have to suffer for very long, heh. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken barber Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Here is a little excerpt from "And Justice For All" When the road turned to the west, he stopped for a moment to check the map. From what he could guess, he was a little over a mile from the entrance and drove about half a mile before stopping. He stashed the bike in the woods near the road, removed his helmet and began to make his way toward where he thought the entrance was located. He could feel the cold November night on his face with his helmet off. He pulled a stocking cap out of the pocket of his leathers and put it on. Lucky for him, his leathers were thick enough to keep him warm, so other than his face, the rest of his body was fine. He was about quarter of a mile from where he thought the entrance was, when he heard several loud gunshots. He paused for a moment and curiosity got the better of him and he ran forward. He saw lights ahead and slowed down a little. He kept going forward and hiding in the trees. He saw someone in the guard shack and beyond it was an SUV. He crept forward and was brought up short when he saw a body lying on the ground. As he got closer, he saw a big hole in the door of the SUV and there was what looked like a man’s head leaning against the window, like he was asleep. He crouched there in shock. What the hell had happened here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexingtonblack Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 "And Justice For All"... What does that mean? What will the characters be faced with in this mini series? This story builds on three other stories. It is action packed and each chapter will leave you hanging. Cliff hangers? oh yeah. But luckily since all 9 chapters will be posted on 9 consecutive days you won't have to wait long. I know you will enjoy this mini series. I certainly did. Yeah, i admit I got an early peak since I had the pleasure to be one of the editors for the story. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Ken, you all must feel about to give birth to the JFA series, excited and nervous. Hopefully unlike birth, it was not several minutes of pleasure and then months of pain, grin..... Can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Norris Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Mark? Like any birth, there was pain involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Alan, hopefully the pain was momentary and light for all concerned.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfhighlander Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Well I don't know if it was light and momentary, but the effort that went into it was worth it. The editors were diligent and hard working to give the readers the final product that starts tomorrow. Mark C. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
