January 5th always feels like the moment in a book where the hero stops planning and finally steps onto the road. The excitement of the opening chapter has settled, and now the real story begins.

January can feel long, cold, and daunting, but this is where the plot is built: one small choice, one steady step, one page at a time. You don’t need to do everything at once. Just keep showing up for the story you’re writing with your life. Once you choose to move forward, even the biggest obstacles can turn out to be paper tigers—loud, intimidating, but beatable with persistence.

If this week were a chapter in your book, what would its title be?

Take care and stay safe. 💙

The first in a new series by Jack Campbell but following characters previously introduced in his 'Lost Fleet' series (never mind the various spin-offs, including the 'Lost Stars' series) and so, as a result, I'm not sure it would really be a good 'jumping-on' point for any new readers to the series.

For those who *have* read the previous aforementioned series, though?

You know what you're getting: more politics, more 'real time' space action and more intrigue, with Captain 'Jack Black' Geary surviving assassination attempts on his life and put in charge of a mission to contact the aliens known as 'The Dancers', who have popped up in previous novels.

More of the same, really, but sometimes that's no bad thing!
