The Shadows of Teutoberg – Evan Dicken
The story started oddly but I got into the idea of a Roman legion pretty quickly, very good start.
The Diecide Machine – Justin Coates
Really strange setting for a horror story, kind of old-God-ish but with a military bent...? Felt like a small part of a much larger story.
Stains – Daniel Finlay
Really liked this one, had an Annihilation crossed with...something I can't remember since that story was three days ago...but I did like the story and where it went. EDIT: Remembered it: Roadside Picnic, where aliens come to earth and leave surprises behind that mutate things.
Ragnarok – Mark Renshaw
Another good story here in the middle. Like something promised from the first 9 episodes of the first season of True Detective. So good.
How Zeke Got Religion at 20,000 Feet – John McNichol
Not quite vampires but vampires, interesting.
Danny – Dirk Patton
I get it, the main character is an asshole and every chance he has to be a bigger asshole he'll take that chance. Still doesn't mean that you get a pass for the ending, because that was just in poor taste.
Conviction – N.X. Sharps
Nah. The beginning was too normal for too long to all of a sudden be bringing in some sub-Cthulu mythos in the middle/end.
Failure to Extract – Kevin Wetmore
Liked the premise a lot. I also liked the 'you got away with it...but nope' aspect of the story: not everyone gets a happy ending, the best part of short stories.
Hunter – Steve Lewis
I liked it, but it just reminded me of "Suits" from the other Snafu trilogy too much. Like it was a sequel or something. Which - considering it's the same author - it could be. It's just that it's not stated that they're set in the same universe so it seems convenient, story-wise.
The Crust – Justin Bell
Another of the "bigger universe" stories that seems like a .5 to a book series proper releases.
Call Up the Dead – James A. Moore & Charles R. Rutledge
A novella instead of a short story, but still a goodie. Like a Pendergast story almost. And it's related to the spider story from the last Snafu which tells me that there *is* a larger universe, and now I have to track those books down.

As with any anthology, there are some stories that are more fun to individual readers than others, and I definitely enjoyed the majority of these. A nice mix of genres, time periods and weaponry to titillate everyone who likes a good scrap.

December 25, 2018Won't rate, as I'm the publisher, but I think it's pretty damn fine.
I added here to put it on my reading goal for 2018.

Another good effort in this anthology series. Entertaining and worth reading if you like military science fiction.
This was a good installment in the SNAFU series. I enjoy the short story collection format. Lots of story variety (some obviously better than others) to keep things fresh. Good use of military action in the science fiction arena. One suggestion would be to tighten up the editing a bit for overall quality and general fact checking.

Snafu
This is quite a collection of stories! Each and every one uniquely different and captivating. I don't think I have ever had a collection of this type before. I thoroughly enjoyed each and every one. I highly recommend reading these short stories by some of out favorite authors. You won't regret it!

Introduction to new people
This book was great, like the rest of the SNAFU series. Because of this novel, I now have to own anything having to do with Griffin and Price, as well as the Jonathon Crowley series. The anthology is well done and I'm very happy I've stumbled across one dealing with what once was dead, and no longer is.

That was a wild ride. Full disclosure, I wrote one of the stories in this anthology (Ragnarok) but I thoroughly enjoyed the intense action, visceral descriptions and variations in the other stories. That was fab!

One of the best in the SNAFU series!
I've really enjoyed many of the books I've read in this series. Not a weak one in this particular batch. The only thing missing is a "Shaft" or "Foxy Brown/Coffy" analogue in the monster-slayer genre. Beyond that, I really enjoy this series.

THE BEST ONE YET IT IS!
Hello, this collection of tales was very, very good. Very well written and extremely entertaining to read. Not a boring one in the bunch. Thanks.

Needs proofing
Good stories, the last one was great, but like all the SNAFU titles I have read, rife with spelling errors. It interrupts the flow of the story.

Supernatural fight
A supernatural fight pitting man vs ancient horrors or gods, or things better left alone. Very well writen. Cant wait to read the next book.
