We found hyperspace in 2105 and the Great Space Race began. Alliances, nations, corporations, and religions reached out for the stars and humanity spread beyond the Solar System. We learned the answer to one of the oldest questions of all time in 2205. Are we alone? They brought medicines with them that nearly wiped out diseases, and extended the human lifespan into the centuries. They helped us study advanced technologies, and we expanded our colonies hundreds of lightyears from Earth. It was a golden age that many thought would never end.

Jack grew up in a world at peace, his only interests, partying and girls. But then an alien sneak attack killed millions of Americans, and wiped out almost everything and everybody Jack knew. He volunteered to serve and kick the alien scum back to the other side of the galaxy. But the Marines wanted more than people looking for revenge, and cybernetic partners demanded a far higher commitment. If Jack wanted to earn his commission as a Marine Corps fighter pilot, he had to grow up. He had to let himself be forged into something stronger than he’d ever wanted to be. He had to live up to the name of his squadron.

The Republic of Texas Marine Corps Fighter Attack Squadron 112. The Cowboys.

Happy Independence Day from Sarah

Happy Independence Day from Sarah. She’s a faery of the new school who likes fast cars and things that go boom. Horsepower is her love language. Whether she’s driving a Packard Twin Six through downtown Constantinople or a BMW E32 through the Miami waterfront, she always wants more power under the hood and more speed under the tires. And one more little thing to remember. She’s always the driver.

Happy Independence Day from Joanna

Happy Independence Day from Joanna. She’s a faery of the old school who does not admit how many years she has seen go by. But she has spent most of her existence watching Earth from the otherworlds and rarely getting closely involved in our affairs. Though one may be surprised about what exact affairs she has been involved in.

But one thing is certain. She’s been a big fan of America since before we called her America, and she will always wish for you to enjoy America’s birthday. Whether when brave men signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776, or when happy Americans party in Miami in 1988, or beyond. Happy Independence Day.

Happy Independence Day

It’s the 249th annual No Kings Day today! We said no back then. We’re saying no now. Cause we’re Americans and that’s just how we roll.

Celebrate the birth of your nation by blowing a piece of it up. And please come back to work on Monday with all your favorite limbs still attached to your body. As funny as it sounds, we don’t want to have to nickname you Stumpy. I mean… we will… especially those of us who appreciate dark humor… but even we really don’t WANT to.

So be safe. Have fun. And Happy Independence Day.

Happy Independence Day from Captain Carter

Captain William Carter has been celebrating Independence since before The United States of America existed. He crossed a frozen Delaware River on Christmas back in 1776 to kill a bunch of Hessian mercenaries, doncha know? He takes Independence Day a bit seriously. This is a picture of him enjoying the celebration in 1988 Miami. Yeah, I know… he doesn’t look a day over forty. There’s a reason for that.

If you want to read his stories hunting otherworldly creatures and threats to mankind, search for Medron Pryde and Raconteur Press on Amazon to find the anthologies that tell some of his more colorful exploits. From Wyrd Warfare against an Old World god during the Colonial Rebellion all the way up to a battle in World War II that history claims absolutely did not happen. There is no proof that the Marine Raiders ever went to Manchuria. That’s a Big One that never happened. And everything we know says that Goblin Markets and Coffee Adventures in the Old West were never a thing. Though there was a lot of people drinking From the Brim to the Dregs.
