Aha! That "night" on Starka...Kaor, Paul!<br /><br />Aha! That "night" on Starkad began with the possible death of Flandry, before ever we had known him! And "morning" on Merseia can also stand for the "morning" of her vaulting ambitions and soaring self confidence.<br /><br />But even Chapter II ends with a bit of possible hope. Because Commander Abrams had captured Dwyr the Hook as he was burglarizing the Intelligence Corps offices on Starkad. And Chapter IV is where things start going wrong for Merseia.<br /><br />SeanSean M.

Finally, Chapter Four is the untitled introducion of "Ensign Dominic Flandry, Imperial Naval Flight Corps..." I published a post about the symbolism of these chapters somewhere on the blog.<br />Paul.paulshackley2017@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704115766930975286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538502828554372917.post-76187697927601110892017-08-08T08:09:42.912+01:002017-08-08T08:09:42.912+01:00Kaor, Paul!
And I remember the very first line o...Kaor, Paul! <br /><br />And I remember the very first line of Chapter I of ENSIGN FLANDRY: "Evening on Terra--" and which is followed by a listing of Emperor Georgios titles and the remark that it was his birthday. Alert readers would soon realize how ominous that "Evening on Terra" was. Such as the evening of an elderly Emperor's life, the evening of the Empire itself?<br /><br />SeanSean M.
