That is true except her ships were actual bodies surrounded by a ship hull not an AI/mind map cross. Both excellent Ideas and great stories.

Yes.

I was thinking along the lines of 'intelligent ship', without regard to the source of the intelligence. :-)

decent read, a fubar mix of magic, humor, dwarves and leprechauns. don't blame me if your brain is sprained.
I'd gladly travel back in time, except I would have to wait longer for the next chapter of Fel's work...sorry, pass.

Magic - I don't ever remember laughing so hard at another story, movie, TV show or comedian.

'More Magic' by the same author is funny also, even if it is not yet complete.

Samurai SEED by AJ-Writer
It's a pretty epic story.
I recommend this if you like swords,guns,tactics and large armies clashing.

[quote="expedient"]If you like sci-fi stories with space battles against impossible odds (and I guessing most of you do) [url=http://storiesonline.net/s/69407]The Tarayla Patrol[/url] by Code3Sam found on Stories Online is a fun read.
[quote]Earth is embroiled in a war with the Lin-Teye Empire, a war it is losing. Earth has bet everything on the introduction of a new battle platform, the E-series, but until the new weapons systems arrive, existing inventory must stretch. Earth is using the last of it's mothball fleet against front-line Lin-Teye equipment. Forward patrols in ancient Aegis Corvettes are are just short of suicide missions. The Tarayla Patrol is the story of one of these high risk missions. [/quote][/quote]

The story has been withdrawn from SOL. Anyone know where an older copy might be found?

Thanks,

Loved these links, thank you.

I did some searching on storiesonline.net and found the battlemage series to be a decent read (NSFW) http://storiesonline.net/library/author ... er=&skip=0

For those using e-readers or e-reader apps I would recommend BookBub. They send an email daily with bargains in the genres you select and the online retailers you use. I have seen bestsellers and obscure material for little or nothing. I have literally 100's of books on my Nook and set for my kindle app that were mostly freebies. There is usually at least 2 free per day though I do have quite a few genres selected
