Wil was glad to see that it was Azjah at his door and no one else. He wasn’t in the mood for the annoyance of servants. They were something that he put up with for Azjah’s sake, but too often they were either too stupid or too loyal – either quality usually resulting in death. The smile quickly ran ...

“Is this some kind of damned joke!” the gruff voice of General Morningstar came across all too loud and clear. “What the bloody hell is going on here?” “General Morningstar. Sir. This is Colonel Savage reporting in.” “Savage is dead. Who the hell is this!” “I’m not quite dead, sir.” “Damn you, Savag...

Colonel Savage had materialized within the Triberg Haus master suite less than a minute before there was a knock on the door. As was typical, it took several seconds for him to gain his bearings and balance, and to confirm that the transportation had placed him accurately at the coordinates he had e...

The long and drawn out meeting on the 45th floor of the I.I.S.C. Headquarters Building was coming to a close when James Sloane, Chief of Planetary Affairs, interrupted the closing statements. “General, there is actually one more piece of business. I hesitate to bring this up but I hate to have unfin...

Wil Savage read the note that was from Azjah which he received from Baumann in the library. "My dearest Wil, I have gone on ahead, and eagerly await your arrival. Baumann will set you on the path, but I ask you to savor the journey. All of my love, I shall see you at the end of the path. ATD&qu...

Wil's play list would be (and this is hard to limit, so I'll just pick the first 20 that come to mind): 1) Boston - "More than a Feeling" 2) Aerosmith - "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" 3) Boston - "A Man I'll Never Be" 4) Aerosmith - "Walk this Way" 5) Tom Pett...

The feel of Azjah’s arms around his waist seemed to draw off all the tension of the night and put everything in its proper perspective. The message to the I.I.S.C. headquarters could wait. Everything could wait. None of it was so urgent that it couldn’t wait until tomorrow. Wil wrapped his arms arou...

It was a crossroads. No, worse than that. More like a juncture. It was one of those points in time when you could chose only one of several courses of action, and you knew that any choice you made would set your life forever on a completely different path. The worst part was that a few of those “for...

It should have been a time of celebration. Instead, the ride back to Triberg Haus was solemn, with both Azjah and Wil deep in thought. She wanted to leave Rigel, but he wasn’t convinced that was the best idea – not yet. If she left now she’d be a fugitive of her own homeland and have to give up DWI ...

Wil could feel Azjah’s grip on his arm tighten, and it helped to keep him focused on the matter at hand. If this had not been about Azjah, Wil would have told the Kaiser that he’d make sure that Rigel wouldn’t come anywhere near a trade route until Betelgeuse freezes over. Wil noticed the smirk on S...

Wil had just condemned himself to a return to the agency that he had worked so hard to escape from. Azjah frowned as she began to consider the implications of Wil’s offer to the Kaiser. Even if he could convince the I.I.S.C. to allow the HTS in the Rigelian system, what would his fate be? This was l...

Wil slowly turned and glared at the Baron, staring at him as if he just grew two heads. Then he addressed the Baron in a voice that was steady and firm, leaving no doubt that he was not about to be manipulated by the man. “Baron Stefano, am I hearing correctly? By what right do you stand there and i...

Savage kept silent. He couldn’t believe his ears when the Kaiser announced, “We are kindly disposed toward your offering Prince Sheldon. The presence of Volans into the Rigelian Empire is a welcome addition.” Azjah’s gasp of outrage was audible. Wil just listened, and as he listened he fumed inside ...

Colonel Savage stood next to Azjah and listened to her explanation and the Kaiser’s response. If he had calculated correctly, the Kaiser would indeed be granting her request. This was one time Wil wasn’t so sure he wanted to be correct, for he didn’t see Kaiser Wolfgang as being a particularly benef...

Sheldon slid a glance at the woman who now held an elegant curtsey with the ease of long practice. Was she worth promising more to the man in the throne? He noted the formal robes of her station in Rigelian Peerage. She looked every inch the wealthy woman the Kaiser had dangled as bait for he and th...
