Very nice. The interrogation transcript was well executed, and it's appropriately creepy, though the reveal that they let him go didn't really have that much of an impact on me - I think I would almost have preferred that he escaped on his own, to preserve the mystique of the raiders. It reminded m...

Interesting explanation. I have to admit that I find that Darkknell bit somewhat unsatisfying, though, as the initial reactions of others seem to me to be too visceral for it to simply be a reaction to the place being a shithole. A shithole known for producing large volumes of particularly violent ...

One thing I've been curious about - you've mentioned that the Halos are modified from baseline humans, as are the station security chief's people - the new nordics or something. Is that sort of thing common in this universe? Given all the comments that have been made about Darknells, are they a ref...

There's also Execution Hour, which sadly is only available via special order from the black library website. But aside from being a very good read in general, an arbites unit also plays a not-insignificant role in the story.

Salamanders is an.. interesting series. Interesting because its a Space MArine novel about the most... humane and generally heroic Space Marines. So you think it should be good right? Well.. I dunno. I can't really make up my mind about it. I actually like Nick Kyme's depictions of Space Marines - ...

Unfortunately, the writers seem to forget this sometimes. The 13th Black Crusade for instance had the Chaos forces "winning" because they took over huge sections of Cadia... but they completely lost orbital supremacy in the process so that they don't simply spill out of the Gate and march...

....IIRC, in Codex:CSM, there is story about Khornate Champion who hacked off his own head because Khorne demands skulls constantly, and one minute since last offering proved to be too much for him.... I know the story you're talking about. It's actually because he was shot full of holes and couldn...

Betrayals, past, present and future. Part 6 He licked his teeth. They were stained red, dripping as Athena’s eyes went glassy and blank; she still tried to speak, but no words came from her torn throat. She twitched, looking out at Nike, their eyes meeting for the last time. Grey and gold. She remem...

Law Firm Fires 14 people for Wearing Orange Shirts They weren't wearing sagging pants or revealing clothing. But dressing in an orange shirt is apparently enough to get fired at one Florida law firm, where 14 workers were unceremoniously let go last Friday. In an interview with the Ft. Lauderdale S...

I'm really enjoying this. The short punctuated scenes really leave me wanting more background into the characters and the universe. And I also immediately thought Dresden when I read White Court. Damn that Jim Butcher! Glad you're enjoying the story, though. I've made a deliberate choice to limit c...

A bit of one, yes. We'll definitely get to see more of Du Noir and just why Niyati's reacted the way she has to the thought of him still being alive, let alone there for her.

Old secrets. Fireborn, Part 5: Niyati. Fate. Niesha. Pure. Necia. Fiery. Najila. Eyes that Glisten. She’d had many names over the millennia. Most of them were unremarkable; a few were not. Kingsley thumbed through the Du Puis Chronicle carefully, its yellowed pages crisp and brittle. It didn’t seem ...

Makes me wonder what Shannon would mutate into. Depends on how (and by what) she's infected... Also how many danm breeds are there seems like everytime they turn around they encounter a new one. So many questions unaswered. Not so many, but let's see: scouts : these are formed from small animals/ch...

In this chapter: Sanctuary Coming up: Eyes in the dark. Hunters and prey; the foundations of empire.

Intreasting, seems like they may have found a haven of sorts.... mind that while the system sounds like it is in good condition, the other entrances to the oasis may have been breeched and the "clean" area may have been taken to a whole new level as its been around for a guesstimate of 60...

In this chapter: the line between an oasis and a mirage is fuzzier than you might think Coming up: crossing the line Chapter 63: Shannon stirred groggily, murmuring something unintelligible before passing out again. “It’s okay, Shannie,” Abigail said to her squadmate, ignoring the burning in her arm...

I've been considering doing more Rabbits-verse material, although I don't have anything solid for a story yet. I've got something I've been working on, but I don't think it's quite polished as a concept, so it'll still be a while before there's any movement on that front and as I've got three differ...

oh, now this is interesting Thank you; one does aim for that. :) Fantastically, gorgeously written across the board. One of the best pieces of writing I've seen in a while, frankly. I require, however...context. Thank you. How much context? For this series I wanted to do something a little differen...

The hunt continues. Fireborn, Pt. 4. “I don’t see why you care,” she was saying as they continued past the bar, leaving the catcalls and sneers of the skinheads behind. “It’s just words from idiots. I mean, I don’t get offended when you say things about reptiles.” Bill snorted, choosing to ignore th...

Oh. Derp. Me am smrt.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Oh man, it's a hidden Knight pun.. I didn't even notice... Those sentences do not logically mesh. I'm not sure I follow; Akram is being confident that they'll find their target again, especially considering how sloppy she's been recently (Heat Wave Vigilante and all that), but Drake is pointing out...

Another day, another vignette chronicling the life and times of Bill Kingsley and his thermophilic companion... Fireborn, Pt. 3 Akram al-Faddil had the kind of face that made you want to punch him. There was a smug little smirk permanently affixed to his lips, his dark brown eyes seeing right throug...
