Read it first thing in the morning ;) Can you say how many readers this story has?

I'll have a look at the analytics....

Seems to be a little over one hundred regular followers - ~95% from here.

Because the UFO-playing demographic is the best demographic :)

Huh? That seems too few, are you sure you aren't missing a zero?

Really, I was expecting a few thousand readers

The ~150 is pretty suspicious, yeah - the analytic suite we're using tends to behave oddly. There'll be a proper figure when we've found and fixed the issue, no doubt

I read all current 18 chapters over the past few days on my ebook reader (using dotepub I converted the webpages to epub files) and I had quite a lot of fun. The only criticism that I'd give right now is that there are sometimes too few descriptions of what is happening over too many dialogues. Especially when there's a lot of action (like in chapter 12) I found myself wondering where the characters are and what are they doing, also who is speaking.

Waiting for more :-).

Thanks for the feedback Cyber Killer! I'll make sure Gary sees it.

Your reward is... chapter 19 being up!

The penultimate chapter is ready for your viewing.

So what're people's thoughts on a sequel?

(thought I updated this yesterday - I must have quit the window too fast or something)

The cliffhanger at the end of the last chapter was just unfair... keep us waiting for the next one ;-)

Hey, hey, what do you mean its over already!? You guys wouldn't leave us hanging like that, without knowing if the world was saved, right? right?

Seriously, that was intense (and I must agree that the one week delay between updates was specially unwelcome after the previous chapter ;)), so, did I hear something about a sequel?
