Parasite Puppeteers – Chapter Thirty-Three

#synesthesia #narration #audio

Buzzard asks Archie if he has numero-spatial synesthesia. This reading is chapter thirty-three of Parasite Puppeteers, the second book in the Green Comet trilogy. They're receiving broadcasts by the Makers, and their voices are very strange. There's also an intermittent data signal, which also disappears over a longer time scale. Back on Green Comet, something is going on with the children. rjb…

@astronomerritt Least I could do.-) Do you prefer the feedback here, PM or maybe the website?

@astronomerritt I've downloaded the epub. I'll read it and, if it doesn't make you too uncomfortable, I'll give you some feedback.

@astronomerritt do you write fiction that I can find somewhere?

@astronomerritt I know how you feel about needing feedback. I can never get enough.

They've decided that the Prime must be going back where it came from. This reading is chapter thirty-two of Parasite Puppeteers, the second book in the Green Comet trilogy. They worry that the laser arrays won't be big enough to slow them down. They're shocked to learn that the people back home aren't interested in their mission any more. Regardless, it's time to see if they can control the Prime. rjb Link.

The Twat Gets Over a Thousand Views

That's a lot of views for a twat. (Not the one you're thinking of-) Six years ago I wondered if I could write this kind of post, so I gave it a try. Turns out I could, apparently. Nothing significant in the grand scheme of things. Just something I thought was interesting. rjb

So much strangeness has been happening that Elgin finds he feels different. This reading is chapter thirty-one of Parasite Puppeteers, the second book in the Green Comet trilogy. Elgin discusses this strange feeling with Fran in hibernation. Are they becoming alienated from the people back home on Green Comet? rjb Link.

The Prime surprises them by changing direction. This reading is chapter thirty of Parasite Puppeteers, the second book in the Green Comet trilogy. They were beginning to understand how the Visitor and the Prime got bigger as they went from system to system, but why did they have weapons? Buzzard wonders if they can make use of the Prime's auxiliary craft. Fran wants to get inside the Prime. rjb Link.

@markarayner Holy shit! They can deliver things online now? I thought that was science fiction.

@deepmud They'd have to be amazing athletes in those costumes. Something to see.

@deepmud Is it big enough to play basketball?

@sebastianmalloy Did you have it on heated dry?

@ThePoint The Liberals are safe as long as he leads the Tories.

@ThePoint And the original inhabitants of Gaza can work as maids and cleaners in those resorts.

@ThePoint It's so bad here in southern BC that the highs flirted with historical normal highs for a few days, before going back up. That's right. This "cold snap" brought us down to normal for a little while.-)

@technicat If you read the right stuff, you can do two-for-one with the moral indignation.
