The short story A DEEPER DARKNESS in 'MARK OF CALTH'
_______________________________________________________
A single genestealer bounds at you from out of the shadows. It is a horrid xenos breed that is deserving of the your storm bolter's vengeance. You put it down with an economical blast from your weapon before moving on through the space hulk. Return to the MAP to continue your journey, remembering to subtract 1 blast from your original total of 12. If you had no ammunition left at the beginning of this encounter then you already know that you are dead. Return to the Map and try again.

Electric Shoeboxing #7
OUT NOW
The short story HANDS OF THE EMPEROR in 'The Imperial Truth'
_______________________________________________________
That's right. Electric Shoeboxing is back. Haven't touched this one for a while. The general idea is that I'm trying to sift the internet (the whole of it, pretty much) for topical feedback to my work. My feeling is that if someone has been kind enough to read one of my novels or short stories and taken the time to write a little about it then the least I can do is acknowledge the kindness. I do this by collecting them here. I have a 'Reviews' section for formal critiques and casual comments tend to go in the 'From the Web' - although I struggle to keep up! Shorter reviews and extended observations tend to go in 'Electronic Shoeboxing' - a blog version of a shoebox containing cuttings and clippings etc. Here is today's. Thanks to Tarl Hoch for this one.
'The Serpent Beneath' by Rob Sanders was a fun story about the Alpha Legion. I have to say, this story surprised me the most. What seems like a standard mission of the Alpha Legion's preference, there is a whole lot more going on in this story. I can't even talk about it for fear or wrecking it for anyone who reads it. Even the ending left me impressed at Sanders' writing and ability to weave more than one surprise into this story. Highly enjoyable, and I can't wait to see what happens with the plot lines set forth from this story!'

ZOMBIE SPACE MARINES
OUT NOW
Archaon: The Fall and the Rise
A 12k short story included in the ebook version of Archaon: Everchosen.
______________________________________________________
Continuing with my efforts to catch up with and collate relevant material that I've missed on internet - I've surgically extracted a nice review of my short story ' Bastions ', featuring the Excoriators Space Marine chapter from Legion of the Damned . The indomitable Xhalax reviewed Bastions on the commentarial tour de force that is site Fifty Shades of Geek. Here's what she had to say:
A silent star-fort is an ominous sign… But when Chaplain Rhaddecai and his Excoriators board the Semper Vigilare to investigate, they find something far more disturbing as the dead rise, human and Space Marine alike. Beset by rotting horrors and trapped in the star-fort’s depths, the Space Marines must find a way to survive, or to die with honour.
"Bastions by Rob Sanders
Chaplain Raddecai and a half squad of Excoriators have travelled to the star-fort Semper Vigilare to censure its commander for a number of infractions he has committed. However, when the Space Marines board the star-fort, they find it disturbingly quiet and seemingly empty. Yet looks can be deceiving.
The story begins at the beginning (not as odd as it sounds, honest), introducing the reader to the main characters as they board the star-fort and the tone is set very early with the derelict hangar bay that only seems to add to the list of charges the Chaplain has brought to bear. There’s a sense of wrongness woven into the prose too, quite artfully as the both the reader and marines know that something is wrong, and given the nature of the charges, they can guess. However, the marines must complete their mission to its conclusion, regardless.
Bastions is a slow burner of a story, which makes it seem longer than some of the other shorts (and it may be, though I’ve not got the actual word count), but that only adds to the oppressive atmosphere. Something is going to happen, and both the characters and the readers are braced for it, but neither knows exactly when everything will be revealed.
My only slight niggle is that I’m never given a complete sense of who the Marines are. They’re a stoic breed, descendants of Dorn, so the exchanges between the characters are to the point in their directness. It’s not until the end, when the scope of the story is shown that you really get to see who these characters truly are, when they are tested in their loyalty.
However, Bastions is a full story told succinctly in the microcosm of flash fiction and well worth a read.
9/10 "
As well as being released individually (found HERE) the short sotry was also anthologies in Space Marines: Angels of Death . Being a reading and reviewing machine, Xhalax also managed to find time to review the other stories contained within. Her reviews of those stories can be found HERE, HERE and HERE. I have added Fifty Shades of Geek to my growing list of sites on the side bar that are part of the scene and worthy of attention. I encourage you to check it out.
