Pinetree Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Good read, enjoyed it quite a bit. I had one "yeah, right" moment when one of the characters pulled a grenade pin out with his teeth. Anyone who's done it for real will know you'd pull your teeth out trying that. Those pins take a lot of twisting and pulling to get out, even if you crimp the pin ends with pliers together beforehand. Another small gripe was that the Russians, when being formal, didn't address each other as "Comrade". e.g. "Yes, Comrade Captain". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heldelance Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Loved the novel Lee. I'd definitely love to see series for this. Just recently bought all your Epic Universe novels. Looking forward to reading your other stuff when it arrives, should tide over my desire for some good SF. Speaking of good SF, can anyone suggest some other authors or series?

Chris Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 "The Forever War" is one of my favourite books ever, certainly worth reading. EDIT: Actually, to avoid derailing the thread, Heldelance - can you create a new thread in Off-Topic if you want recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonshine Fox Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Finished it in a couple of hours, while trying to work. Very gripping and insanely hard to put down to get some actual work done. Thank you! Very well made! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Stephen Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 Thanks for the kind remarks, everyone! I wanted to make sure you guys read my thread on writing reviews for XCD on Amazon! This is a huge way to help out both the novella and the game. You can find the thread (and the link to XCD on Amazon) here: http://www.goldhawkinteractive.com/forums/showthread.php/5359-Help-Xenonauts-by-Helping-Crimson-Dagger!

Simmo753 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 keep up the good work Lee, I'm sure after release of the game you could write stories based on your playthroughs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
