Science fiction WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE.  Hard-ass space marines take care of business with speed and elan. The pace of the writing zips along - high action, with strong quippy dialogue -- I was unconsciously reaching for the tub of popcorn at my side a few hundred words in. I've only read the first chapter - because that was all I needed to know that I wanted to read the whole thing in its completed form - but Paul's already put up the first 8 chapters for perusal like a madman if you need more convincing. This thing is clearly for fans of Alien, Ghost Recon, Gears of War, or just gunmetal sci-fi that with a high body count.
