Getting my action-packed SF novel (One Survivor) into print got me back into fiction-writing mode, and I've been putting in some time on the sequel, Tainted Gold. Not one to hold out on my loyal readers, I've posted what I have (the first 80 pages) here.

Tainted Gold has many of the same characters as One Survivor, but I structured it differently. There are several different groups of people going after the gold ("What gold?" you ask. Read One Survivor). Each group has special knowledge that the others really need but don't have. No group is aware of all of the others. It's been fun to write so far.

As with my other science fiction, it reads sort of like early Heinlein, or maybe Bujold. I don't know why, it just happened.
