150 – Greased Lightning

By Major Tom on October 26th, 2009

New Site Live

In case you didn’t notice the new site is live. Consider it a “beta” version. I still have lots of tweaks to make. But it’s good enough that I felt comfortable switching it, as I was getting real tired of the old one. I removed the book progress widget since the book is nearly complete, and just put a full percentage of how close I am. As it says, preorders will be in November, so get ready!

Previously on Marooned…

While attempting to send a message to Earth, John fell ill. Ugo brought him to the Volotrum (also called The Dark Ones), his only remaining chance to be healed. The Listener, an apprentice of the Dark Ones – a human woman named Lian Fisher who crashed on Mars years ago – agreed to heal John. In doing so, she has fallen into some kind of coma. Meanwhile, the dangerous Krosa are approaching to attack. John, Ugo and Asimov will try and help the Dark Ones repel them.

New Readers

The current storyline starts right here, or you can read from the beginning. Be sure to check out the about page, which explains the story and the main characters.

    Agreed with Ed about Panel 1. That would look great on an ad banner!
