For those following my book series, Dragon's Fury, here's an exclusive FR excerpt to the story. This will be my last excerpt of Volume III before the intital draft goes to edit, which occurs this next week.

For obvious reasons (when you read the excerpt) I thought that the excerpt might be of interest to FR readers. JR approved of the content going into the book, I asked to make sure he was ok with it.

As to the likelihood, possibility of this scenario ... it occurs during the third year of a massive world war where oil reserves and energy independence have become critical to national survival. Satellite wars have occured negating ours and the enemy's satelllite capabilities ... through very technical innovations on the enemy's part, our stealth technology has been negated (ie., they can see our aircraft) and the enemy is using his massive numerical numbers to great advantage in several other theaters. I won't go into any more detail ... you'll have to read it. Remember, this occurs after almost three novels of writing that have built the tale to this point. Besides, it's a fictional story.

This latest volume, Volume III, High Tide, should be available in eBook form on Amazon and Barnes & Noble before the end of the month, and in printed form on Amazon around the end of the month (March) or the start of next month (April).

This will mean that since November of 2001, I have self-published three novels in the series, each about 450 or so pages long and in my spare time. Lot's of midnight oil as you can imagine. I intend to complete the last two novels by the middle to end of 2004.


THE DRAGON'S FURY SERIES

A Story about the coming World War

Thanks to everyone here on FR who have had faith in this project and who have given your support, encouragement, critique ... and yes, patronage, to the series.

Best FRegards.

Jeff

...and it would have the very effective that Stokes was hoping to create...

Edit number 1, it should read "the very effect that Stokes... ."

Just some friendly help.

I can't wait to get my grubby paws on this book. Edit faster!

44-70 .....

Just a real quick note but I don't think this is a real calibre. 45-70 Government is the closest thing that comes to mind and I'd hate to see you make an elementary error in what is otherwise fantastic writing.
