Timothy Callahan is back, starting to release episodes of the third book a series. This one is The Arwen, Season 3: Armada
The Earth Alliance prepares itself for a new war. Two old enemy’s have allied themselves with Regal, the planet the Arwen saved two years earlier, to build a massive Armada assigned to destroy Earth. Vice Admiral Payton Cook must defend the planet against insurmountable odds while Captain Cook does battle to save Ulliam from a deadly surprise attack.
The Arwen: Season 3 is the final chapter of the Gyssyc trilogy which started with the Parsec award winning novella, the Arwen: Season one Regal, and continued with The Arwen Season two: Ulliam.

Hey CGF, that’s true! All my ships are named after characters in books with the ship class being the name of the author. For example, Kel’s ship the Bean and the Andrew Wiggins are Card class support cruisers, the Arwen is a Tolkien classed battlecruiser and the Valentine is a Heinlein class super battlecrusier. I’ve always had a hard time coming up with names for ships and this was the most eloquent solution I could think of.

Was just going to subscribe to Arwen 3, and for some reason I don’t get a Subscribe button, even after logging in. The buttons are there on the first and second seasons; dunno why it doesn’t work for me on 3. (I tweeted Tee Morris about this, btw.)
Apparently it’s just me?

Don’t know if it’s just you or not, but I got a subscribe button.

Immediately after I posted about not getting a Subscribe button — then the darn thing showed up. No idea why. So it was probably just me. Something to do with the browser cache, I suspect.
I’m in the middle of writing a review for my show, if my word processor will stop crashing on me. Oh, and I”m now subscribed to Season 3. If it works this time, it’ll be the first time I’ve listened to a Podiobook episode by episode. Be a new experience for me.

Cool David, when the review is ready let me know, I’d love to take a listen! I saw it on your page (clicked your name) but when I went to play it all I heard was “Episode 63″ and then nothing, guess it’s still being recorded or something!

All Better Now. Thanks for stopping by.
I think you’re right about what you can do as the Writer. Now that I think about it, the Captain might have assumed that entering with even Shields and not guns blazing might have been seen as an aggressive act, in a system where aggression attracts more aggression. She’s that smart, she just misses things sometimes. If I were an editor (which I ain’t), I might look for a rewrite to give her that reasoning.
Then there’s the whole batteries-vs-engines thing. Do they need the power for the strangelet-generator when leaving the wormhole?
Remind me never to become a fictional starship captain.

love the series, but i think there may be a problem with the download. none of the episodes have permission to be downloaded on my mp3 player. eather was im running it through a converter. this is an issue ive not yet encountered on podiobooks.

problem solved, accidentally renamed a folder.

Enjoyed the book, listening to the first in the series is pretty important as it sets the stage for all the various races and conflicts already in progress and being resolved so go back and listen to that first, then come and listen to this as I’m sure you’ll enjoy the first one.

Okay, got my review (such as it is) up on my most recent Grizzly’s Growls. Downloaded most of it en masse, got the last episode or so in the feed. Wasn’t my best review — I’ve had a rough month — but it was fair-to-middlin’, nothing bad.
Thanks for the story. So, now that you’ve killed off most of the main characters, when’s the next book coming out?

I just got done listening to it Grizz, thanks for the comments! I agree about the Enterprise too, I remember as a kid asking my dad that very question about why it’s so heavily armed even though it’s supposed to be on a scientific journey. He said something about the unknown and you never know when you’ll need to fight a bad guy.
The next book, I hope, will be out in June, I plan on releasing a new one every June until I run out of ideas which hopefully won’t be anytime soon.
