Title: Star Control 2 novelization finished (Eternal Doctrine) Post by: Tiberian on October 23, 2017, 10:33:42 pm Indeed Eternal Doctrine is finished! I ask you to check out all relevant information from this blog post (https://tommisalminenbooks.com/2017/10/23/225296-words-later/) I created.
In a nutshell, Star Control 2 novelization consists of two books: Groombridge Log (https://tommisalminenbooks.com/groombridge-log/) and Eternal Doctrine (https://tommisalminenbooks.com/eternal-doctrine/), written by Tommi Salminen. If you just want to start reading, here's a direct link to the PDF (https://tommisalminenbooks.files.wordpress.com/2017/10/eternal_doctrine.pdf). And since you can also buy the book, here's a direct link to Eternal Doctrine in Amazon (http://a.co/gdWSXEX). Thank you for attention and please enjoy the story as much as I did.

A good job and doesn't have a comment, I'll read it in PDF this week. Great! :)
Title: Re: Star Control 2 novelization finished (Eternal Doctrine) Post by: Tiberian on January 31, 2018, 08:37:08 pm Indeed I'd prefer to have more comments and especially reviews at online book stores. Groombridge Log got four excellent reviews on Amazon, but Eternal Doctrine hasn't got a single one.
If you read Eternal Doctrine, me and the rest of the world would like to hear your opinions. Title: Re: Star Control 2 novelization finished (Eternal Doctrine) Post by: Fwiffo1234 on March 03, 2018, 12:42:42 pm OMG I remember reading Groombridge Log several times when it came out. Such a well-written thing. I have to give the sequel a read as well. Thanks a lot for your efforts!
Title: Re: Star Control 2 novelization finished (Eternal Doctrine) Post by: orz97 on March 11, 2018, 01:49:41 am I tried, but I can't give reviews in Amazon because I never buy anything from there.
But if you need help elsewhere, I'll gladly do it. Title: Re: Star Control 2 novelization finished (Eternal Doctrine) Post by: Tiberian on March 17, 2018, 08:30:22 pm Goodreads (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36421812-eternal-doctrine?from_search=true) would also be a good place to write a review.
Title: Re: Star Control 2 novelization finished (Eternal Doctrine) Post by: CessnaFighter on April 07, 2018, 03:33:51 pm Moro Tommi,
Ei tätä varmaan Suomeksi löydy :) ? For the rest, sorry couldn’t resist to put it in Finnish. Title: Re: Star Control 2 novelization finished (Eternal Doctrine) Post by: Tiberian on April 07, 2018, 09:08:23 pm No Finnish version available.
There is one guy who is translating it into Russian and the last time I checked he was going on chapter 5. For you Russian natives, here's a link (https://yadi.sk/i/znAMGfkt3MiPzV) (Also, if the Russian translator is reading this, I'd like to have a chat with you. Please contact me so we can talk business.) So, if you really want a Finnish translation, you are free to try to make one yourself.

Please contact me so we can talk business.) This guy is me. Yes, the last year I abandoned the translation, but just now I decided to return to it, and for the last couple of weeks I edited those ready-made 5 chapters, at the same time refreshing the story in my memory. But in any case I will be translating for a very long time to talk about some business. I began to do this at the end of 2016, immediately on our forum (http://mosc-portal.bursa.ru/showthread.php?t=321&page=2), and for 5 chapters and the prologue I left about six months. I do this only in my spare time at my job. :) P.S. And, Tiberian, thank you for the books. Very worthy.

Quote from: u/Tiberian (https://www.reddit.com/r/starcontrol/comments/8anxdz/star_control_comic_the_urquan_masters/) on reddit The Ur-Quan Masters novelization duology (Groombridge Log and Eternal Doctrine) was originally supposed to be a comic. Drawing the story turned out to be too cumbersome, but the prologue and chapter 1 were finished before the project was buried in 2010. Chapter one of the book as comic (https://tommisalminenbooks.files.wordpress.com/2017/03/groombridge-log-comic.pdf). If you like it, the only way to get to the end of the story is to play UQM, or to buy the books (https://tommisalminenbooks.com/groombridge-log/).

For you Russian natives, here's a link (https://yadi.sk/i/znAMGfkt3MiPzV) This link no longer works, because I updated the translation. No, nothing new, just a little improvement. The new edition is now here (https://yadi.sk/d/IKeUYTa33UGn5e). Title: Re: Star Control 2 novelization finished (Eternal Doctrine) Post by: Avid Fan on May 31, 2018, 03:30:26 am I just finished reading it.
Fantastic work. I love the fact that The Captain wasn't the primary focus, the characters of the XO and crew-members were most enjoyable. On top of that I love the minor tweeks that filled in gaps and smoothed over the "game world" to make a cohesive story. Five out of five stars. Will read again. |
