About this ebook

In 2652, with insistence from the Admiral, Commander Clayton Wade of the Royal Theranian Navy must take liberty from his duties at the Strategic Warfare Consulate.

Chelsea Vela, a civilian logistician working at the Consulate, needs to make it home for her son’s custody hearing, but leisure travel is only available to military personnel due to increased enemy Scavenger activity in the area.

Clayton is able to help, but only by signing he and Chelsea up to fly together on multiple, inconsistent Space Available flights offered as a condition of military service.

As part of his time away on liberty, Clayton must deliver a message for the Admiralty to their third destination on the Desmiri Space Port, the details of which Clayton feels unnecessary to inform Chelsea about before she makes it home on time for her custody hearing.

Double check your itinerary, set sail, and be flexible with your travel plans.

Noah Hartley

It was during the pandemic that I began writing the short stories that make up The Argo: 50 Short Stories of Galaxies, Gentlemen, and Gallantry. At that time my son was barely six months old and his eczema was flaring up really bad. As we worked to combat it with medication, I had to stay in his room every night and watch him for three or four hours to make sure he didn't rub his face. Keeping a six month old from rubbing his face, it appears, is a near futile effort. After a few hours he would fall asleep completely.This went on for months, as the risk of exposing him to the virus was still too high when taking him to hospitals for more and more help, but eventually we found medication that started working. As the months went on, I think I watched just about everything I cared to watch from online streaming services before I ran into a website where people posted random short stories.After reading and enjoying a few of them, I thought I would give it a try. That's when I came up with Clayton Wade and the 48 gun Argo. As some of the early short stories gained positive reviews, I kept posting, eventually leading to the 50 short stories of the anthology. Clayton has stuck with me since then, leading to the publication of Wade. I'm now happy to also add Chelsea Vela into the stories with her spotlight role in Eternal Dawn.The Argo, Wade, and Eternal Dawn are a mix of my interests, hobbies, personal life, and experience in the military. I'm not in the Navy, but if they bring back the rank of Leftenant then I may try to switch.I hope you enjoy the stories. Set sail - and run out the guns.
