Review:

Spoilers!

This Guy:

…is evil.

Emma,

…faces challenges.

William,

…actually, is a bit of an asshole. But when push comes to shove (& comes to the second-to-last volume), he may just be growing a pair:

Jones vs Jones!

There is a whole volume left (actually, a volume and a half, not just because vol. 7 is a fat chunka manga but also because there are an extra couple of chapters waiting at the end of volume 10) so, while we’re close to the end we’re not quite there yet. But… maybe we could have a page at the end of the book, showing the two leads each staring longingly into the dread dark of night, though they are separated by thousands of miles,

Yeah. That’s the stuff.

Yes, all the links are broken.

On June 1, 2015 (after 6 years and 11 months) I needed to relaunch/restart this blog, or at least rekindle my interest in maintaining and updating it.

Rather than delete and discard the whole thing, I instead moved the blog -- database, cms, files, archives, and all -- to this subdomain. When you encounter broken links (and you will encounter broken links) just change the URL in the address bar from www.rocketbomber.com to archive.rocketbomber.com.

I know this is inconvenient, and for that I apologise. In addition to breaking tens of thousands of links, this also adversely affects the blog visibility on search engines -- but that, I'm willing to live with. Between the Wayback Machine at Archive.org and my own half-hearted preservation efforts (which you are currently reading) I feel nothing has been lost, though you may have to dig a bit harder for it.

As always, thank you for reading. Writing version 1.0 of Rocket Bomber was a blast. For those that would like to follow me on the 2.0 - I'll see you back on the main site.

In my head, I sound like Yahtzee (quite a feat, given my inherited U.S.-flat-midwestern-accent.)
