Technology, Begin:

This is a novel of 82,700 words. As the story outgrew my usual target length for this series, I've added the subtitle, An Unwanted Odyssey Part 1. However, the novel is a complete episode in and of itself, though a new challenge is presented at the very end. I have yet to arrive at a title for the second novel of this pair (At least, I think it will only be two).

Depending upon a number of various external factors, I will either start work on #2 immediately or pick up Rider's Doom, with the intention to finish one or the other by the end of this year or the first part of next.
