Discover how the Imperial Navy deal with a xenos infestation aboard a civilian ship, in the ultimate no-win situation.
THE STORY
When an Imperial Navy team uncovers a Genestealer infestation upon a bulk freighter, they must move quickly to cleanse the alien taint. As the struggle escalates, it soon becomes clear that the ship is completely compromised – a motherlode of xenos corruption, eager to spread to new worlds. With time running short, they'll need desperate measures to contain the nightmare aboard.
Excellent debut short story. The atmosphere is second to none. The sheer creepiness of the situation really comes through in the way you want it to from a story with this subject matter. And the Navis troopers, their relationships and how they operate are equally compelling.
Sometimes those who make the difference are those we know nothing about and never will. A nice homage to those unsung heroes of the real world here in fiction. Short, punchy and what an ending.
