Hey guys, here's your first chapter of the day!  Book 17, Chapter 44 - Catching a Ride has been released!  Today's chapters are sponsored by HH of Norway, so if you enjoy them, please consider joining me in a big round of applause for him!

Uh, just to give you guys advance notice...this chapter and the next chapter are both very cliffhangery.  So...yeah, advance notice given ;)
