I don’t feel like this book is getting anywhere fast, but I have managed to complete the first and second sections, after a fashion. Some editing is going to be needed.

That basically gets the introductions to the principal characters out of the way.

Now, it’s onto the a rather horrible few chapters where there’s fighting, death, mostly death (those who saw The Princess Bride will know what this means) and general mayhem where in the confusion a daring escape is made, and a mission of utmost importance is carried out.

And this before the real story gets underway.

The next day or so will tidy these chapters up, and then we can get onto the fun part.

For the statisticians, todays effort was 2,551 words for a total of 15,657.
