Dark Fate #8
Industrial
The first pirates to attack Earth have come, but quickly fell into Zayn Greene's trap, before they could escape or warn others about the fact that Earth had defenders. That's all well and good, but the next group to show up and start making demands might not be foolish enough to get caught in the trap, or they might bring more numbers, making the kind of sneak attack he used against this first group impossible to pull off. All he's done is delay the day when the cruel universe knows about Earth, and what it has to offer, buying them time.
But if all he's done is buy time, then Zayn is determined to make the most of that time as he can. But this is beyond the point where he can do everything himself. He might have impressive powers in a melee fight, but brawling skills mean nothing when facing orbital bombardment, or when you are trying to take down an enemy fleet. To compete with an industrial enemy, he'll need industry of his own.

About the author
Stuart Grosse
239 books212 followersI'm a rookie author, looking to write stories that I enjoy writing. Not gonna get awards, but honestly, I'm happy with each and every person that reads my work.
Stuart is a sci-fi and anime geek, who dabbles in tabletop and video gaming. He enjoys cosplaying and has gone to DragonCon annually since 2009. Frozen Soul is his first book.
It is a sad, sad day when you finally break down and realize that you will never have the life you wanted, never do the things you wished to do, and never see the things you wanted to see. All because of a stupid lack of lightsabers.
I was a 26 y/o college student at Armstrong Atlantic State University, as a theater major. Went to school for a while before, dropped out, tried to go back, dropped out.. Not much to say other than the fact that I'm a laid back guy, and the only drama I like is the kind that's on the stage.
If I act like an idiot, or do anything to offend you, chances are it is not intentional, and I'm being oblivious. In that case, hit me upside the head, and tell me, because I don't catch subtle hints.

Plot Develops, Characters Forgotten
The story moves along fine and the System is expanded upon. However, there are almost no meaningful character interactions. There's also no real romance scene, which I'm listing separately from "merciful character interactions" because of the protagonist's rather promiscuous nature.
This should have been like three chapters in an actual book.

Not a lot of action in this one
But it's setting up for a real donnybrook in the next installment. Torpedo boats versus battleships in a moonless night encounter.

Good
Another enjoyable read. I do prefer our hero's own calling, slavery. I enjoy the interplay of selling ourselves and at what price! Always interesting to me.
