The Royal Manticoran Navy Wants You!

Faith to Turn the Tide of War!
The Manties: insectoid cyborgs threatening to wipe human life from the galaxy.

Stranded behind enemy lines, Harrison must do whatever it takes to survive—not only for himself, but for all of humankind. Get The Chaplain’s War here. |
October Contest |
Exterminate the Alien Menace!
Insectoid creatures—think giant man-crushing pincers and hive-mind unity—have invaded. Our weapons barely have an effect and Earth's defenses are crumbling. We need your mad science genius! In a short paragraph, come up with the most original way to beat a massive horde of implacable insectoid/arachnid alien invaders. Giant roach hotels don't work. The aliens only move in and engorge themselves on room service. The delivery guys, not the food. All other methods are up for grabs. Save us! And win a signed edition of The Chaplain's War by Brad R. Torgersen as your thanks from a grateful humankind. Find out more here. |
