Blurb Set in the year 2031, the story focuses on Sam King, a former soldier who, after having been in an accident, was implanted with several high-tech mechanical prosthesis. After a stellar career as a Navy SEAL and later a CIA operative, Sam chooses to use his skills for in a more profitable way, so he gets a job as a 'fixer' for the private military company, Olympus Security Services. But Sam has barely begun this new job before his skills are put to the test, as he has to stop one of the company's - and the world's - best assassins. Sidenote: I usually spend a lot of work on what I write, and not just the text but also the layout. Unfortunately, Movellas' interface doesn't let me display that properly, so I strongly urge you to download the pdf version of The Man From Hades from the link below. Thank you. http://www.4shared.com/office/sDwwIToc/01_-_The_Man_From_Hades.html

  • D.B. FairlessI loved it, I loved the timeline it was interesting and shows that you've thought about it, I loved the memory at the beginning of chapter two, for a bit I thought it was all going to be a memory, like assassin creeds animus machine, I'm glad it wasn't tho, writing is great, dialogue is fast and flowing, welldone, it's great. Liked and faved. Also if you have time could you check out my new piece Requiem: Operation Continuum? I'd really appreciate it
    Michael Raphael GabrielThanks for the endorsement,
    Did you download the pdf or did you just read it here?
    D.B. FairlessNa I just read it off of the website, and your welcome, it's great
    brettbumI think Dann's points were spot on, although I read it here myself. I liked the timeline as well, maybe as a matter of form in the actual ebook, it could be some type of futuristic infographic.

    I thought the 'test' on the whisky date was a little on the weak side, but definitely liked the follow up test regarding all the other interviewees. I'm kind of wondering if you need a whisky test at all. While I would personally enjoy a whisky test if I ever went to an interview again, I've never heard nor seen anyone actually offer whisky during an interview and that goes double for a job that is going to be physical, and triple for anyone working in security or any type of investigative capacity. Those guys usually do drink, but in my experience (more limited in recent years than in the 90's) they don't drink anywhere near the job or the potential job. If this had been a casual meeting at a bar or something, might be different.

    then again, I might just be reading too much into it, but that's kind of the point... :)
