FAITH IS MY WEAPON. BUT IT IS NOT MY ONLY WEAPON…
Across the Macharian Sector, the Departmento Munitorum maintains immense stockpiles of weaponry, vehicles and equipment. Their adepts have a duty to outfit Imperial agents with the gear they need to complete their missions, a practical extension of the God-Emperor’s will. They account for every firearm, blade and bullet with reverence and propriety — in return, they ask for proper authorisations, up-to-date permits, and precisely filled requisition forms.

About the author

WHY SHOULD YOU READ CHRIS COLSTON?

One word: Authenticity.

OK, maybe two words. Add “Unique.”

The authenticity comes from Colston’s 26 years as a professional sportswriter, including 13 years at USA Today and USA Today Sports Weekly. He’s been there, done that. But his career path is what makes his story remarkable. He had no journalism degree; after graduating from college he worked as a pizza delivery man, managed a corner hot dog stand, built moving crates, and sold shoes. His first journalism job came at rural weekly newspaper with a circulation of 300. From there he joined a university sports department, running its newspaper, circulation 3,000, before landing at USA Today Baseball Weekly, circulation 300,000. That led to covering NFL and NBA for USA Today, circulation three million.

How to peg Colston’s genre, other than “pure fun entertainment”? His stuff is contemporary, it’s funny, it’s serious, it’s character-driven—but the plot moves. His books are quick reads, but they have much to say about the state of journalism over the past two decades.

In his travels across America, Colston banked a wealth of memories by covering big-time sports from the inside. He has weaved those experiences into a rollicking series titled American Sportswriter, featuring quick-witted sportswriter James Hoak. But while the series might be labeled “contemporary sports fiction” or “contemporary action-adventure,” the books are really about life—and how we all cope with it.

It's basically an equipment guide, but with some thought put into how such a thing can be made a tad more interesting and inspire interesting scenarios and campaigns. Full review: https://refereeingandreflection.wordp...
