Love this series, as I have always been fascinated by our own solar system. Amazing how small it is, compared to the rest of what's out there, yet the distances are already beyond imagination. As are the conditions on these planets... you explain it all really well in your stories, yet its hard to comprehend what it would really be like there.... phew, winds of 900 km/h? That would definitely knock you off your socks. The fastest I ever went on my motorcycle was a bit over 220 and that was pretty scary on a naked bike (motorcycle without body/windshield)...

Thank you!! :)
Running on the motorcycle at a bit over 220?!?! You're way too brave! I've only done it in a car at about 200 and was a bit disappointed, because on the highway you could not feel the rush, the drive was too smooth. Being totally exposed must be a whole different feeling!
Those worlds have that sweet destruction that lures you, don't you think? You know that they will swallow you and drag you into painful deterioration, but you still remain curious to see what this deterioration looks like... now that I think about it, it's almost like love, passion to be more precise ;)
Car and motorcycle are a whole different story, particularly, when the bike isn't "covered". I don't know the right word... you know those racing bikes? The front is kind of covered by a body like shape, to make it more aero dynamic and to protect the driver from the wind. Which is really serious! The first time ever I did (only) 140 on a naked bike, I thought I'd get blown off of it.
Yes, these planets are really fascinating. We think they are friendly, because they seem so familiar and have all these wonderful names. That makes us forget, what hostile worlds they really are...
Hahaha.. well, I guess I'm to old to be longing for destructive passion. Have had my share of it already... enough for a life time :-b
