Since I’m in the habit of noting significant Microkhan miletones, I feel obligated to alert y’all to the fact this is my fifteen-hundredth post. Thanks a million to everyone who has followed this often ragtag project since its launch nearly five years ago; I promise that good things lie ahead, especially once I get the next book off my plate. Though I’ve been tempted to abandon Microkhan on several—okay, numerous—occasions, I know I’d miss having this public scratch paper. And I’d definitely miss engaging with the learned commentariat about topics ranging from linguistics to lifeboats. Please do keep swinging by, and prepare for an awesome deluge of hijacking-related posts as the launch date for The Skies Belong to Us draws near.
