Beautiful, exquisite in fact. You've certainly come a long way from dodgy allegories. I seem to remember in the first chapter the female director being quite reminiscent of a particular character in a particular series.
Though espionage is not really my favourite flavour of fiction, it was still very tasty.
Language was excellent throughout, pacing first class and above all else, a remarkably enjoyable read. To say I feel disgusted and wretched with myself compared to your brilliance is an understatement. I need a shower.
Bastard, you've interrupted my own fiction now. I'll have word flows going through my head while I'm trying to sculpt my own work. Never a good thing in my book.
17 views and nobody's going to comment? What is the matter with this community. This was great, deserves more kudos for such erudite charm. |

| How did I not notice this at first glance? Hmm. Well, Art, this was a great piece of work. I have a thing for spy stories; ironically, I can't write them for sh*t. I love Kim's character, though, he is indeed a "cynical son of a b*tch". Keep it up. |

I`ll make a confession: I don`t even like allegories that much 
Anyway, thanks a lot for the very complimentary review. I`m glad I succeeded in what I have planned out for some time now.
And thanks to you, Azathoth. I`m glad you enjoyed it.

another detailed piece of work arthur. I will confess, even though I am a college grad student, I could barely understand half of the words you used to describe glares, feelings, and settings. but, the story worked very well regardless.
one question though: how does this relate to Halo? just exploring espionage within the UNSC?
your writing continues to amaze though, one could only hope to conjure a piece of writing such as this. cheers. |
