Afterword

Even Admirals Wear a Suit on Mondays

A word from the author

Hello, Mustafa Soylu here. Thank you for reading all three books to the last page.

By day I am a full-stack engineer: I turn single map tiles into 3D globes, design and build back ends, APIs and databases (with the odd native app on the side), and run Kubernetes and self-hosted infrastructure, with CI/CD pipelines and pull-request reviews keeping the fleet in line.

Why a web novel? Off the clock I read Japanese light novels and military space opera, and the best of them end with a short note from the author. It felt only right for mine to end the same way.

If you want to talk about maps, APIs or clusters, or just recommend a good series, you will find my status window and a way to reach me below. Until the next volume.
