Over all it was okay. There wasn't much wrong with it, but you could have done a little more, such as a better intro that described what was going on in Russia, or what they were doing before they got hit, etc.

Also, don't give every character a nickname. And finally avoid using AN (author notes) in your story; save stuff like that for the comments section here.

Keep going.

Nice job Conrad. Your usual smooth delivery. Interesting to see you writing something that isn't instantly wall-to-wall action, and I don't see that as a bad thing; each story has it's own personality. I would have liked a bit more of a hook at the beginning, and a little more make-you-read-the-next-one surprise at the end, but that's just me.

I have to agree with Russ about the nicknames. As for the author's note, to each his own. Russ doesn't like it, others like it, some don't care. Heck, do what you want with that, as long as you aren't using the note to get over the minimum number of words.

Again, nice one.

Hey Conrad. Don't listen to Russ.
Nicknames rule. Hey you even used the coolest nickname Shadow!
(see my stories to see why Shadow rocks as a name. Ignore my first story it's crap. Check all my names on Google to!)

Ahem, anyway I like it. Mace. Cool! Nicknames rule. And Your storis nice too. Very Happy

Thanks guys. in the next chapter, I'll just leave a couple of the nicknames, or "call-names" as they are known to the military, as I just realized that most of those names are really corny.
To Chuckles:
Yeah, writing wall-to-wall action scenes do get a bit hard to write these days, due to Hollywood already using almost all of the good action sequence ideas. And don't worry, there'll be plenty of action in about halfway through chap. 2 onwards.
To MasterSushi:
Ok, I'll check that a.s.a.p.

Cheers guys Very Happy

P.S. Please check my Fan Art! I need to know if my work sucks or not.
