Hello again.I've added Drifta's Quest 2 on this site. Unlikely to be a Drifta's Quest 3 but never say never. I am already working on a new book to fit in between other creative projects. As a mere lad of 68 I have a good few years to tell my stories so I hope people will keep enjoying them.

Perhaps. She never fails to surprise me. A strange look crossed Davron's eyes. She has secrets.

I don't understand.

Davron sipped his juice thoughtfully, as if wondering what to reveal. I suppose as you are her pilot now, you'll stumble onto it eventually. Care to see?

Show me.

Davron turned to the controls and accessed the computer. At the press of a button, the screen turned a light blue. Nothing but one simple plain colour. Then it happened.
