Note from the Author:
Sorry for the long delay, Fans of Pangaea, but things I thought would take weeks took months. I had three cars die on me, one after another, the last one due to odometer fraud, so had to visit mechanics and used car salesmen and (in one case) the legal consultants. In that same period, I vacationed with family, changed dayjobs once, plus ran a successful funding campaign for STARQUEST, which I am also working on diligently.
However, this series will not go on forever, even though, had I the stamina of Edgar Rice Burroughs, it would. Roughly ten more episodes are left. We are counting down to the dramatic climax and crescendo.
I do not know how many people, if any, are still reading this, but as long as there is still one fan who wants to find out the fate of the Last Continent, I will persevere.

An ANNOUNCEMENT! Due to circumstances beyond your humble author’s control, LOST ON THE LAST CONTINENT will be placed on an hiatus during the month of October. The next four Wednesdays will see posted in this space short stories from the background universe of my long-awaited novel THE UNCONQUERED EARTH, taken from the vault of elder tales.
We resume our normal episodes of adventures of Colonel Lost on Pangaea, the world’s last continent, in November.
