G. Derek Adams commented on Asteroid Made of Dragons

I'm going to put up a new chapter today - I realized that I've shared a few chapters so far - mainly focusing on the heroes: Jonas, Rime, Xenon. I thought it would be fun to give you all a peek at the Villains. Or at least...a very nasty group of antagonists?

You should all be receiving it later this afternoon - this is fresh from the current draft, so please forgive any typos or purple prose. This is the first chapter the readers meet the Hunt, the secret society dedicated to the eradication of the Wild Magic menace -- once a globe-spanning organization of supreme power and influence, now dwindled down to an old man in dented iron armor: Linus. At his side are three companions: a devil-blood assassin of dubious allegiance, a white sword that destroys any magic it comes in contact with, and a lifetime of memory and skill from tracking and eliminating wild mages.

Feedback is appreciated! Linus is my Zenigata, always on the trail of Rime and Jonas - it is extremely important that the reader feels that he is a suitable threat and worthy opponent. What do you think about him in this first chapter? Heroes are only as great as their villains...
