I haven't read it all but what I've read isn't all that bad. It appears you've taken Walter Scott as yur model and it is impossible to do better than that. So happens that Scott is my favorite. Go to iUniverse and publish it if you haven't already. If you have I'll buy a copy. You have a nice talent. A real nice feel. Bravo. I haven’t read it all but what I’ve read isn’t all that bad.

So, where's the poem? Have you posted it anywhere? Love to read it, like your ideas. Yes, the Egyptians even buried part of their space fleet beside the Pyramids,or rather, astronomical observation stations. This is real StarGate material out upon the Milky and The Betelgeuse Bridge. Have you delved into William Tenn. I think it was he who discovered the Betelgeuse Bridge but I haven't read him for fifty years. Last I heard he is still out there alive and kicking. He's got a site, check him out on the internet. His stories are collected in two volumes. Great intellectual adventurer. Oh well, you know, epic poetry. So, where’s the poem?

They had to trade with other cultures to get more wood, but eventually they built enough ships this way to make an outerspace fleet. As for the novel... it would be a great idea, if I was capable of writing it! I'm trying, slowly but surely, but unfortunately I'm a better poet than a novelist. That's why I've already written the entire story as a poem. I'm still trying to transcribe it as a novel though.
