As a regular sampler of your fantasy, I have to say your sci-fi might be even better. The scene of husks swarming around the Strategos felt like the battle of Thermopylae (love the use of the Greek names for things). And when they mentioned the great weapon and the inscriptions on it, my immediate thought was of the Covenant and the Rings from the Halo series (to the point where I figured everyone was doomed once they activated it). This leaves me excited for your forthcoming sci-fi serial.
Many thanks! I hope not to disappoint with the serial.
I had in mind something like that for the superweapon, though not on the same scale, and it was a close call whether anyone survived. You know, Thermopylae never came to mind but it should have 😂
Vey well written. I like the tension and the sense of pervading doom. The language is clear and crisp, the character well drawn. The history of the Colony, the Religion, the explaining the Husks and how they raise up from the dead. Excellent detailing. You can see and hear the gate as it opens; see the hundreds of thousands of Husks about to attack. Very enjoyable. Once again, you set the bar high.
That was really cool, great tone and atmosphere. Had some serious 40k vibes which is allways a good time.
Thank you! Glad you liked it. 40K is great and, even though I don't play and have only read a couple of the books, is a large influence.

Thank you so much, it means a great deal to know the story landed so well.
