For well over a year now I have been working on presenting the Eve Chronicle Ruthless. At over a hundred pages and spanning somewhere around two and a half hours of audio once completed, this particular Chronicle is the longest and most ambitious project ever undertaken on this podcast.

Completing the Eve novella “Ruthless”, today’s episode is the final chapter of this six-part epic story. In this chapter Ralirashi engages in a boardroom showdown to expose the evil behind the Ishukone Corporation. Meanwhile Otro, flying Ishukone’s experimental battleship, must convince enemies to work together to take down the deranged Admiral Bane. No battle is certain and no conflict is without cost… and there are ruthless choices to be made along the way.

For those who have been involved in the project, I thank you very much for your time and your talent in making this production a reality. There have been roadblocks and unexpected twists along the way, and this episode (indeed, the entire publication of this Chronicle) stands as a testament to your patience and your willingness to help.

Here is a link to Ruthless, Chapter 6 aka Episode 64.

Please note that this is the sixth part of this story – the earlier episodes are also available for download on this site.

I intend to make a longer version of the entire Ruthless story (six chapters in one file) in the near future. This will include commentary about some of the pitfalls and unexpected delights experienced along the way as well as an insight to the production process. I also plan to put in a “blooper reel” – with hours and hours of recorded audio on the cutting room floor there are several moments that made us all stop and have a good laugh along the way.
