Just started posting the final part of The Cure trilogy. It's a slower pace than the current two. Hope you enjoy.

Just want to thank all those who voted for The Cure in the best Sci-fi award. Second place was a surprise amongst a really good field of entries. Again, thanks.

I have published my main novels in Bookapy. They are the full extended versions. This is for those who didn't care to use Amazon and wanted an alternative. Hope you enjoy, if there are any other of my works you'd like to see there, let me know.

For those who asked.

Trooper = private.
Specialist = private first class.
Junior Monitor = corporal.
Monitor = sergeant.
Senior Monitor = sergeant major.

Non-com ranks are a bit more specialised in Ground Force as in more responsibility. A junior monitor doing what a junior lieutenant would do, a Monitor doing what a lieutenant would do and the Senior Monitor equivalent to a captain. All take extra responsibility giving GF a great deal of flexibility.

Officers begin with Cadet = an officer trainee, no real rank at all, not allowed to command anyone except other cadets.
Tribunes = Lieutenant.
Optios = captain.
Prefects = major.
sub-Commanders (the rank where specialists usually resided) = lieutenant colonel.
Commanders = colonel.
Senior Commanders = brigadier general.
Marshalls = major general.
High Marshall = general.
There are not many actual officers in the Ground Force per number of enlisteds.
