The Promise    Scheduled for release in July 2017    A young man will soon leave the planet of his birth with his wife and child, but his mother refuses to go unless they first visit an old war memorial. The visit stirs old memories and more.   The Promise  began what I now call the Final Duty universe. I wrote the 5,000-word story while deployed on USS Sterett (CG-31) in the western Pacific in the late 1980's. I think being on a ship helped set the feel of the flashback portion of the story.  Infinite Darkness is available free to newsletter subscribers that sign up on my  website contact page  or on NoiseTrade.com.
