On the run from the authorities in Aspar, Shep discovers something new about himself.  Then he discovers something about the Aspar’s customs and his young ally Hylas that he didn’t really want to know.

Okay, this is the chapter where a certain portion of the listenership is going to become uncomfortable and probably cry out, “Oh, no, he’s going THERE!”

It’s organic and necessary to the story, and, if you know your warrior cultures of earth, historically supported.  Again, no explicit language, but the subject matter is adult.  Interested in your thoughts, but check all amateur psychology at the door.  You don’t want to be in my head.  It’s dark and scary and there are little mice…

The preview is for “The Good Parts” podcast, and does have both explicit language and subject matter.

Kathy Garver, Family Affair’s Cissy, Spiderman and Friends‘ Firestar, and a Prometheus Guest Star in The Arbiter Chronicles – “Adventure 354”, dropped us a postcard this week to announce her new cookbook (ISBN 1-59393-458-0) available at Amazon.com and KathyGarver.com.  Well, hey, we believe in promoting whatever our cast is doing, and Kathy is certainly an honorary member of the troupe!

Shep and Philip, out of the frying pan and into the fire, have been mysteriously snatched from the jaws of death in Virginia, and transported to a world at war.  The Red Planet… is it Heaven?  Are these people whose civilization is so advanced angels?  Or are they merely human?  Shep does what comes naturally, and catapults himself and his friend into the thick of an ages old war.

This chapter starts to get a bit more explicit, so be warned.  I don’t recall putting any foul language at all into this story, but the subject matter is adult.  Have had one bit of feedback thus far, and am eager for more.  Let me know what you think!
