"Colonel (United Federation Marine Corps)" Having read every one of the books in this series, I know you have a very vivid imagination. But, how can you just say the "Klethos" just, ah, melted all our crew-served weapons, including our artillery? What did they do? Brazee, Jonathan P. (2015-11-01).

Jim,
First, thanks for reading the series.
Second, as to your question: the Klethos, despite their choosing stylized combat, are extremely advanced from a technological standpoint. What they do to the weapons is simply not understood by the Marines. How this happened is beyond them, which is why "somehow" was used, and "melting" is the best they can come up with.
I have discussed this with someone with a better science background than I have, and the theoretical concept revolves around molecular resonance, but that is all pie-in-the-sky physics. I chose not to develop this now because the Marines don't understand it.
I currently have at least one associated book in the planning stages for after when the conclusion to the series comes out next month. My intent is to get much deeper into the Klethos, a new genmodded human gladiator, and how the two species interact. Much more about the Klethos will come out then.
Thanks for the question, and I hope I answered it to your satisfaction.

Well done, Colonel! You created compelling characters in a believable universe. As a retired Marine Major, you put me back in my boots, the adrenaline surge of engagement and the endless tedium of staff work, all flowing smoothly through the entire series. Thanks for the great read. I look forward to your next stories in this universe. Not really a question, but it needs a question mark? Semper Fi.
