Lots of exposition, but it makes for an interesting variant of the zombie apocalypse idea. Very dark and chilling.

Well, killer cyborgs are something of a cliché, but who cares if there’s a good story to tell? Expository, as THX says, but understandable given its function as a bridge between two stories.

Speaking of which: the magical hidden prequel / sequel function. What manner of witchcraft is this, BiC?!

eeep. Not a world I’d want to live in. It seems rather uncomfortable. :)

Its always interesting how sequels can change the work that came before it. We seem to have sympathy for different characters.

I enjoyed the idea that prisons had become fortresses. Very cool. I’m also curious as to how you managed to connect the pieces that surround this one. I hadn’t even considered the possibility.

re, my intent was not to change your work, but to ‘flesh it out’. :) The story is yet to be written, so our sympathies may change, or perhaps, enemies will become brothers once again.
