Rigil's New Endeavour thread...

[Rigil Kent]

Doing a bit of necromancy here to resurrect this thread - not sure if all of you are aware or not, but I'm participating in Nanowrimo this year and am working on both Endeavour: Amaterasu and Endeavour: Xolotl for this. Thus far, I have been amazingly productive, and if you wish to see the results of my labor, the teaser and first three acts of Amaterasu are all online at my website.

I was excited to see updates to the Star Trek: Endeavour series, but it didn't take me long to realize that I had forgotten almost everything that came before. No problem, I thought, I'll just read the whole series over again.

I did, and it's even better than I remember from the first time through. I just finished the first eight installments, and all I can say is 'Wow'. The first seven were very good, but it was the eighth (Endeavour: Media) that completely blew me away.

Let's see, where to begin?

The teaser (a Romulan transcript of a video recording) was a little confusing. I had to re-read it a couple of times trying to sort out what was going on, but I eventually got it. It foreshadowed what was coming, and effectively ramped up the tension later on as I read Archer's preparations for the raid on Admiral Gardner's house.

Then there was the rendezvous with Vahklas and the recovered shuttlepod from Lorian's Enterprise. I didn't see THAT coming, but evidently Lorian's Enterprise survived and is still out there somewhere. Then Rajiin turns up at Gardner's house, and Hayes wins a Vulcan slave in a fight with a Klingon, and a saboteur gets loose on Endeavour, and we see the near-disaster of the raid on Gardner's house, and Soval's covert mission to confront T'Pau, and Shran's covert meeting to plan a coup, and then Endeavour is ordered into the expanse.

ALL of it had me on the edge of my seat.

There was so much to like in this chapter that I felt like a kid in a candy store. No, more like a kid with an unlimited line of credit in a candy store.

So I'm caught up now, and ready to tackle Endeavour: Amaterasu. But for you, Rigil Kent, there can be no more long hiatus' or extended vacations. You *must* write, and you *must* finish this, and that thing called 'real life' be damned!

You *must* write, and you *must* finish this, and that thing called 'real life' be damned!

Agreed. If it weren't for your Location tag, I'd say the same about you and Convicted It's been a whole few days already since the last update

Act 4 is on the Pit of Voles. Its been on the website for a little while. I intend on uploading Act 5 to the website later today - the software I use to maintain my site is on my laptop, which is at home.

Many thanks for the positive vibes...

[Rigil Kent]

Amaterasu is complete on my website.

I have really enjoyed your previous chapters of Endeavour. I am looking forward to more...

[Cogito]

I agree, although perhaps "looking forward" is putting it too mildly.

I'm keenly anticipating the next chapter.

I just finished reading the last part Maeratsu that was one heck of a cliffhanger.I can't wait to find out what happens in the next Endeavour story. And out How Trip and T'Pol find away to stop the Xindi and the Romulan threat:duel:
