November 2007: RB has posted an excerpt from his novel! Here it is in all its glory:

Captain Hoban Rantré Imonora was known to some as a smuggler others a bounty hunter. He disliked the names that people gave him it was hard to switch from one to the other. From bounty hunter to smuggler it was always a different story. People tried to take things away all the time. He called himself a criminal. Rantré was in his shuttle on the way back from a job but people don’t want to leave you be when you’re a criminal and know it. A call came through the COM system.

“Ran?” Leesa’s voice was scared and tired.

“Yeah, what’s up?” he asked. There was too much coin sitting behind him for him to be really worried right now.

“I just got somethin’ on our sensors,” she whispered into her mouth piece as if someone might here her.

“What is it? Can you tell?” Now Rantré was a little worried. He looked at Jiso and back at the COM.

“It looks like an Imperial Destroyer. Ran I’m scared.”

“Leesa if they catch you you’re a hostage. Understand?” Rantré said very authoritatively. There was no answer. “Understand?” he said a little louder.

“Yes,” was all the very small voice said.

“Get the engines prepped for jump. I want to hit H-space as soon as I’m aboard.”

“Okay.”

Rantré looked over at Jiso again, “Move over!”

“But I’m flyin’”

“Your flyin’ too jing re slow! Get outta the way!”
