The Long Awaited Sequel To Exordium

Through Shed Blood Secrets Will Prevail

A Little about my stories
The Story Crimson Fist was written by myself five years ago when I was pondering the thought what would happen if two Adaptus Astarte's chapters with the same geneseed would clash would they join sides or would the loyalist do everything possible to eliminate the stain the traitors make on their Primarch's name.  And that's just what the first story Crimson Fist : The Necrosphere is exactly about. After I wrote the first one well I had to continue the story.
The second story Is called Volcane. Volcane charts the events of a small army of Night Lords led by the maniacal Lord Cravex  who takes control of one of the small cities on the planet Cadia. Volcane is built on top of an underground volcano. Syakotus has one simple task destroy the city and all the traitous Night Lords
  Skin Of Evil, is the third instalment which follows. And deals a lot more with the characters as well as some new twists. the main character Syakotus is brought face to face with his old adversary Salvanfor the rogue Inquisitor from the Necrosphere. Only this time the Necron's search for the Necrosphere from the first story. Also in the third story Syakotus falls from grace becoming an outcast from the Crimson Fists Astarte's Chapter


Then finally there's the fourth story Exordium.

 Exordium is the last of the series and is a much more epic story, with a climatic ending.  The story follows Syakotus on the arctic planet of Kylle there he desperately tries to take a small child to safety against all the odds. Mean while a battle in orbit ensues. Exordium also sees the return of Lykran from the first story who is still in the deathwatch and now a Captain. He takes his kill team through space to finally end on the planet Kyle face to face with the black legion. The story is darker than that of the first three and has a tragic end.
 

Rybok's Rat Pack

Rybok's Rat Pack Is based mainly on the Dirty Dozen stories about the convicts from WWII. The difference being the Rat Packs are from the future.

What are Rat Packs

They are Convicts, psychos, lunkheads, losers, and the best kind of soldier only untamed.
The Rat Packs are Penal convicts from the military from across the colonial galaxy.
The colonial Federation High Command use these convicts on the most dangerous of missions when the odds of survival are highly stacked against them.

The Rat Packs aren’t created from any penal criminal, the units are created from the worst of the penal prisons. Each single Rat pack individual is classed as a highly dangerous living human.

The colonial command offer these convicts a chance of retribution, in extreme cases a decrease of their sentences or even taken from death row. In very extreme cases they have been known to be offered a pardon.

Rat Packs are also lead by an officer ranking between a Lieutenant to a colonel. Many of these officers have broken the law in some way and sentenced to leading these dangerous individuals on suicide missions.

    A Little about my Fiction

    • I've been writing for sometime now, when I first started to write fiction, my stories were set in the world of Warhammer 40,000. My first story Crimson Fist: The Necrosphere became rather popular to my amazement. So it was from that I decided to write a sequel ending the series with Exordium. I wrote three other stories in the world of Warhammer 40,000 before I decided to move away and write my own material.

    I then moved onto my first novel chronicles. The story is the first of four and starts of with the destruction of earth and how the Human race puts aside their issues to work together in survival. There are many elements in the story from start to end. I have also deliberately left the finale of the first story on a gripping cliff hanger. Something of which I have a reputation for.

    I've also written four stories based on the dirty dozen idea. Rybok's Rat Pack. Which was originally created on a forum as an RPG (Role Play Game) by myself. But due to popularity the games players soon began talking of reading a story based on Rybok and the Penal Soldiers he takes on his deadly missions.

    And thus I began work on the story.

    The first one been they look for a super soldier and then find they have to do battle with it. a further three stories have since followed finally ending with Rybok: The Beginning which has been my most popular story altogether. So it was simply titled Rybok: The Beginning. Charting his very violent career. I have started to work on the concept of a final story.

    Following My Rybok series I have since written a stand alone story called Tear's Of Africa which focus's on the events that have happened in Africa.

    I like sci fi particularly dark sci fi. I find some of the books I've read very inspirational especially the Horus Heresy books published by Black Library Publications. And some of the older classic films such as Blade Runner. And most certainly Bat Man.

    I also Moderate on a forum called writing Forums that has a big member base there and a good community. I love to write and create new stories and plots and characters and since branching out to write material created by myself I have already began to create some epic sagas and characters. I love the Rybok's rat pack The humour and aggression within the stories works very well together and Rybok is a magical character with his attitude to the higher hierarchy is somewhat interesting. I intend to write a few more before I finish the series off.

    As for future stories they will be popping up here and there.
