At least it took me only two months to find out I had the award ;). Joking aside, thank you very much for this acknowledgement. It means a lot to me that my writing is appreciated. The newest chapter is nearing completion and will very likely be uploaded in about two weeks. See you then in the Falle...

I was shocked to find out about his passing. My sincerest condolences. When I became interested in the world of Star Trek, about two decades ago now, it didn’t take long for me to find this site. I’ve spent many an hour scouring its content, and it has remained a rich source of well-researched and w...

Hello readers, I thought a little update on the story's progress would be in order right about now. In case you're wondering what happened to the fourth part of this chapter: there isn't one. This chapter has been divided into three parts, but the total length has remained consistent with the earlie...

Two minds occupy one place, one moment, share a footprint in space and time. Is he Commander Tony Q or Lieutenant Tony Blue? Is he an eighteen-year-old, an adult in name only, who has recently lost his omnipotent Q powers, or a twenty-five-year-old who has lived through loss and disappointment as he...

The handful of seconds it takes to beam to another location lasts an eternity for a mortally wounded person. Beaming anywhere in such fragile condition is ill-advised, but Lieutenant Tony Blue accepted the risk of using the emergency transport unit he carried with him to whisk him from the control r...

The wait is over. Here's the latest chapter of the Star Trek: Fallen Heroes saga. Two more chapters to go after this one and the whole story will be finished. But first, lets get some of the publishing details out of the way: This chapter will be released in three larger parts than usual as opposed ...

Because of some unfortunate health issues, I am unable to upload the new chapter tomorrow as promised in the previous post. I am expected to make a full recovery, but it has certainly thrown my writing schedule out of whack. I've progressed pretty far with chapter eight, so not all is lost. A new, r...

Hi there, good people of the ditl forum. I figured a little update on the story's progression is in order. I'm currently working on the second draft of the newest chapter, chapter 8, and I have a release date for you: February 7, 2020. I wish I could write these faster, but it takes a while before i...

“Through here,” Captain Stephan Rinckes says, clambering out of the Jefferies tube and into the blinking red light of the adjacent corridor. “Do you think we’ve shaken them off?” Lieutenant Tony Blue asks. They haven’t heard their Altonoid pursuers in a little while, not since they made several extr...

Lieutenant Tony Blue tries to keep up with Captain Rinckes as they jog through Station A-12’s corridors into what the captain trusts to be the right direction. Marks left by the melted wiring sting like hell and treat him with the scent of singed flesh wherever he goes. Feeling as if he has survived...

Station A-12 – June 26, 2380 – Stardate 57485.7 At first, there is darkness, as black as the starless views in his nightmares. Captain Stephan Rinckes, seated in the void, attempts to shift his position and realizes he has no body to shift. That is, until his corporeal form gradually unfolds itself...

And here we are: November 1st. And guess what? Chapter 7 is done and ready for you avid readers! As per usual, it will be published in four segments, with a new chapter segment being released each Friday. If you're new to this story, be sure to begin with Part II, found elsewhere on this writer's fo...

Hi there! A little update on how work on the final few chapters of Fallen Heroes is progressing: I'm about to complete the third draft of Chapter VII. After that, it'll require three thorough revisions before it's ready for publishing. Expected release date: 1st of November, on a Friday of course. M...

Outside Station A-12, former Federation space – December 22, 2387 – Stardate 64970.5 It beggars belief, but there it is: the infamous space station, its substantial damage suffered during the Station A-12 Debacle patched up with ill-fitting black and brown hull plating. For Lieutenant Tony Blue, th...

Captain Stephan Rinckes catches his breath as he studies the wall terminal next to shuttle bay 4’s entrance. “You think this is Lieutenant Donahue’s doing?” “It has to be,” Lieutenant Tony Blue replies, clutching his phaser rifle with whitened knuckles. He has holstered his tricorder and its appurte...
