If you are a regular viewer of this blog, you'll see that I haven't posted anything in ages. I've tried to finish off a few issues of the mag, but it hasn't turned out. So so far, it seems like I'm just going to relaunch the mag in January 2021. This way I can already do a lot of the issues in advance, so I can do a sort of make-it-and-post-it-a-couple-of-months-later-when-I-need-to. In the meantime, here's an excerpt from Chapter 2 of The Second Imperium Trilogy: Book I - Devastation to get you excited. Hope you enjoy it!:

They said there was a small possibility that they would turn out fine, but things didn’t go exactly as planned. I was forced to adapt to something new—and from then on, I have chosen to never depend on small possibilities.”
“The thing is, sir, the Sffyr system is full of many bogeys, so there is a chance that their communications might be jammed, or—”
“Just find the ship and everyone from it. I don’t want more blood spilled on my hands. Not like this.” Davi sat down and the assistant walked out of the room. Davi pulled out a cigar, lit it, and some few moments later, threw it into an incinerating can. He then pressed a red button laying under his desk. A figure flashed on via hologram.
