So the marketing of this short does the story something of a disservice- the blurb, cover and strap line all make it pretty clear what the plot is going to be, but despite this, it’s is an excellent short.
I could see this working so well as the script for an episode of Hammer and Bolter, or even better as the prequel for a novel, but as it stands it’s damn fine in it’s own regards.

What is the truth and what is the lie?
The Alpha legion, masters of deception and infiltration. But what is the truth and what is the lie. Good short story, more Alpha legion stories needed please.
