#1 IMHO putting a few .50 caliber holes in the pirates and their boat, rather than just getting them wet, would be more effective in the long term.

#2 Yarr! Them sneaky Nippons be hidin' our dread enemy, ninjas, on board. We had barely boarded and raised our cutlasses when one o' the lads was taken down with those throwing stars, and another blinded by explodin' powder. Yarr!

#3 Sea of Fire is my online novel about piracy/terrorism in the Malacca Strait. Lots of local color as I lived there for years.

#4 OT : phil_b, do you know about this? Perhaps you might be interested, I don't know (anyway, don't forget my 15% cut...).

#6 Hey, you beat me to that, how dumb can I be? Kewl, I think I'll get a copy, when I've finished my stash of yet-unread books! Much better than reading online, nothing beats a real book.

#7 Agreed, never could get into the E-Book thing. Tried earnestly, but you're right, nothing beats a real book.

#8 Recently, I have written a novella length story about Perth going through a worldwide apocalypse for a local writing competition and I am the verge of finishing a scifi short story for another competition. If anyone is interested, mail me and I'll sent you a copy.

I still like the novel format better and will get back to my next work (50K words written) about China+Russia and asymetric warfare.

Thanks for the kind words.
