About the author
Patrick Todoroff
37 books50 followersMy interest in books started when I was nine, the year my baby brother shoved a pretzel down into the back of the television set and my parents didn't get it fixed.
My first novel, "Running Black" was a 'put up or shut up' project during the 2008 recession. The sequel "Shift Tense" rolled out two years later.
Other titles include the cyberpunk/technoir novella, 'Soul Cache'; a Celtic-flavored ghost story, 'The Barrow Lover'; three tales from the Exclusion Zone - 'A Prayer to Saint Strelok', 'Strange Treasure', and 'Gopnik Blues', and a handful of stand-alone near-future shorts.
As a table top war game designer, I've written 'Zona Alfa' and 'When Nightmares Come' for Osprey Wargames, several best selling indie games: 'Exploit Zero', its monster-hunting fantasy cousin, 'Nightwatch', and the alien-invasion 'Insurgent Earth.'
Current projects include the post-apocalyptic fantasy 'Shattered Worlds' duology, and a gritty dungeon crawl series, 'Shiver and Funk."

A thousand thanks.

Quick short story with some cyberpunkish-military action. Subverted expectations with the ending, which was interesting. Quick pace throughout and a short read overall. Some interesting topics in here (like ethnic bioweapons) that I wish were expanded upon, but it's understandable considering the length. The Author's note at the end helps frame the story a lot better, but I wish it was somehow included into the story itself.

Reading this gripping, fast-paced story had me stuck on each word. Although at the end, it left me with a lingering sense of foreboding as to the implications that recently passed policies had been having on our civil liberties. Inspiring
