eBook 3 now available on Amazon!
🕑 Added 2018-04-14 14:30:56 +0000 UTC Hey everyone,The eBook has been reviewed and is now available on amazon!
I rewrote the whole thing, cleaning up a lot of the dialogue and the excessive use of adverbs. I've also added a number of extra small scenes, mostly focused on the Ashanath and discussions amongst the High Council as well as extra detail to existing scenes.
Here's some links to the sites:

I hope you enjoy the new version of chapters 21-30!

Is there a timeframe for when this becomes a physical paperback book? Really enjoyed the other two.

It's linked now. Probably was just a delay on Amazon's part.

Amazon supposedly should auto-update the ebooks, so that if the author puts out an update, the readers who have bought it automatically get it as well. There's a setting somewhere in the Kindle account settings for that, I think.
"And now I know the rest of the story". Thanks Tef.
Tefler
The Drakkar is reaching out with its two top arms, begging her for mercy. Jade swipes across, tearing through both limbs at the elbow (rather than completely removing both upper arms at the shoulder joint).
Tefler
I checked my master document and "wait don't" should be in normal quotation marks, because she says it out loud. I vaguely remember that being pointed out before for eBook 2, so I corrected it with an updated version. You might need to download a new version of the ebook (sorry, I'm not sure how that works exactly.)

Tefler, there is an inconsistency with respect to telepathy. In chapter 13 Alyssa thinks to John: " wait don't " at the pool when John is about to let her float on her own. And in chapter 25 John "hears" Alyssa for the first time: " I heard you " John thought in amazement.
I have an inconsistency that you may already be aware of. In book 3 during the fight in engineering when jade turned tiger for the first time. Her second kill has this. "It lashed out with a heavy paw and the ethereal-looking claws ripped effortlessly through the alien's forearms, the swipe severing both upper limbs. " How does one paw slice both upper limbs without slicing the torso?

I submitted a new eBook version, so hopefully that should be up in a day or two! Thanks very much to everyone who pointed out typos and errors. :-)
Tefler
Some great edits there, thank you! "to no end" is the american version of "no end". In the UK you wouldn't include the 'to'. Interesting about the misplaced modifiers, I'll try not to do that in the future. :-)
Tefler
It should be linked, but I'm not sure why the link isn't working. Hopefully it might update next time I do an updated version.
Tefler
Ah, well spotted, thank you! :-)
Tefler, I just found another typo. She came to a halt right next to him, brushing her legs again his and gazing up at his face with a challenging look in her eyes. Tefler, M.

John, I've also sent email to that account, but I'm not sure that it's being received. That's why I've been posting in the comments, here, myself.

Tefler, I sent several emails to your Malif.... account with suggested corrections to the ebook.
Jedi Khan
Tef, just a quick note, it doesn't look like book 3 is linked to the others as a series on the US version of Amazon. Books 1 and 2 are linked, but 3 is not.
Tefler
Thanks for those, I've fixed them in my master document and I'll upload a new version.
Hey. Tef. another typo when John released her from his gasp. Tefler, M. The John Blake Chronicles - volume 3: Voyage of Discovery (The Unclaimed Legacy Series Book 1) (Kindle Locations 6109-6110). Kindle Edition. Think it should be GRASP???
Deryck Stevenson
Hi anyone know when 102 will be released?
Hey. Tef. another typo Soon everyone's hands were running over her wonderful tanned skinned, Tefler, M. The John Blake Chronicles - volume 3: Voyage of Discovery (The Unclaimed Legacy Series Book 1) (Kindle Locations 5665-5666). Kindle Edition. should be SKIN?
Evan
It’s a busy time, but I’ve finished my initial review of eBook #3. I very much enjoyed all the changes. It was definitely worth re-reading! Thank you, Tefler!
Orthen
Chapter 25 and 26 have overlapping times. The beginning of ch 26 plays at the time, John and Calara are on their way to the analysts. location 3871 and location 4204 are at the same time.
Evan
Location 7286: It references a purple ship not being covered in black armour plating, but rather in dark grey plates. I'm just confused over how the ship is purple?
Hey Tef, Is Tyrenium used in plasma cores or the lattice for the Singularity drive. I am only asking since I started rereading the first ebook and in the first chapter it stated that Tyrenium was used in plasma cores but I thought I recalled that it was used in the lattice surrounding the Artificial Black hole...
Evan
Location 7178: "make steady progress, whilst maintaining their low energy profile nice" -> "make steady progress, whilst maintaining their low energy profile nicely" or "make steady progress, whilst maintaining their low energy profile" or however you think it best phrased properly.
Evan
Location 7029: Episilon-Eridani system -> Epsilon Eridani system, I believe.
Yes congratulations on 2000 subscribers
Grimlakin
Wow that's huge!!
Kin Asdi
He Tefler congrats! You’re number one on amazon’s bestseller list!
Evan
Location 4954: "entranced by the spectacular orbs and impeccable spheres of their youthful overseer possessed" - should probably be either: "entranced by the spectacular orbs and impeccable spheres that their youthful overseer possessed" or "entranced by the spectacular orbs and impeccable spheres possessed by their youthful overseer" or "entranced by the spectacular orbs and impeccable spheres of their youthful overseer" - in order to read properly. Personally, I prefer the last one, but however you choose to word it is fine, of course.
Evan
Location 4055, "dropships removed from the hull and moved out the way." -> "dropships removed from the hull and moved out of the way." No?
Went to buy and found that they are still kindle only. Sorry, won't be buying that.
Evan
Around location 3530 in the eBook, it reads: “John’s didn’t sound amused as he asked,” - I’m guessing that that should have been either “John’s voice didn’t sound” or “John didn’t sound”, no?
morris ridgeway
Thank you for the links.
Timbo
Yep, good old British expression, that.... Means making far more of some task than is needed, if the job was done efficiently...
Tefler, I found a typo, here it is the Nymph stroked Alyssa tummy, Tefler, M. The John Blake Chronicles - volume 3: Voyage of Discovery (The Unclaimed Legacy Series Book 1) (Kindle Location 2017). Kindle Edition. Alyssa should be ALYSSA'S. ; One more Ayssa Tefler, M. The John Blake Chronicles - volume 3: Voyage of Discovery (The Unclaimed Legacy Series Book 1) (Kindle Location 2388). Kindle Edition. should be ALYSSA ; followed Tefler, M. The John Blake Chronicles - volume 3: Voyage of Discovery (The Unclaimed Legacy Series Book 1) (Kindle Location 4104). Kindle Edition. should be FOLLOWING. ;
Kim Biel-Nielsen
There is also recurring event in chapter 25 + 26 about John and Alyssa arriving as well as Jade doing flight training.
Evan
Tefler, in location 805, it says: “making such a meal of the demonstration’ - is that a British colloquialism? I’m more familiar with the use of the word ‘deal’ in that circumstance, rather than ‘meal’ as you have it. In location 1071, it says: “should have be born” instead of “should have been born” in reference to Dana. I’ll add more notes as I continue reviewing, however, it would be helpful to know what sections are new, if possible.
Kim Biel-Nielsen
You should also add a “featured tag” with links to the ebooks as well as a link to your recent freebie story.
Kim Biel-Nielsen
Hi Tefler - I love the new e-book. Found a minor inconsistency. In chapter 25 location 3871 The dropships have been decoupled from the hull and are parked away from the Invictus. In chapter 26 location 4070 Dana instructs the engineers to remove. the dropships. In chapter 26 Dana elaborates on the removal of the. dropships and the cleanup of dead drakkar. I seen to recall the team wathching the bodies beeing rimoved in chapter 25. You must have fouled you timeline slightly up.
Timbo
Darn. I bought through Amazon.co.uk and thats the only place it will let me review it. I’m very doubtful that the review will copy across to Amazon.com where it would be much more useful. Can someone with an Amazon.com account review it and include clearly labelled links to books 1 & 2? Frustrated Tim
Do it
Ditto
Timbo
I was thinking about writing a review with links in it...
Tefler
Yeah, it's a bit weird, I don't know what ebook 2 isn't showing up in searches. I wonder if it's because of the racier cover? Book 3 has only just come out, so perhaps it'll start being linked to the other two after amazon's search engine sorts itself out?
Timbo
Tef, most of the inter-book links between the three books seem to be missing, certainly on the US Amazon site and I think the others as well. Books 1 & 2 reference each other, and there is even an offer to buy the pair on both their pages. This is unchanged. However book 3 doesn’t reference the earlier books, and vice-versa as well. Furthermore if you search on anything meaningful (like Tefler, for example) you find books 1 &3, but never 2. The only way book 2 can be found is following a link from Book 1’s page. This is all a bit of a shame, as book 3 is flying up the rankings at the moment (no surprise there :-) ) and no doubt will be getting scanned by newbies. It would be a good idea to make it as easy as possible for them to find the other two books in the series, rather than have to go on a hunt. Particularly as there are a lot of good reviews associated with the first two books, as they have had time to gather them. Is this something under your control, or are you ast the mercy of Amazon? Cheers Tim

bought it last night as soon as it went online....Xcellent.....
Dennis Banfield
I still find it incredible how far you have come as an author in such a (relatively) short time. Thank you for writing, I don’t think I’m alone saying that it’s become a part of my life I look forward to for every release!
Tefler
Thanks to everyone who has purchased a copy! I hope it's an improvement over the original versions. :-)
Tefler
Ah, thanks for letting me know!
Evan
Got my copy, too!
Typo Tef, during Drakkar assault on Invictus where Calara empties her gun into the Drakkar in engineering: 'from its grown to its exposed throat' - believe it should be groin...
Steven Allen
