Signal Boost: "Ice & Monsters" By Peter Nealen

Nick Cole wrangled together some of the Galaxy's Edge regulars to do a launch stream for a new military fantasy adventure series yesterday.

This new venture of Nick and Jason to open an imprint and use the following and structure they erected in the creation of first Galaxy's Edge and now Forgotten Ruin is a welcome one, as this is exactly the "Fork and Replace" strategy playing out in real time.

I concur with Nick that "Contemporary Military Goes Into Fantasy World" works far better when actual combat veterans who know how to write do so, as they are far more likely to address the premise honestly and with a high degree of verisimilitude, something that is lacking in the most well-known example in this genre: GATE, by a JSDF veteran.

I look forward to seeing where this goes, but as Nick and Jason are taking up something of a Big Brother role I can be confident of another success like Forgotten Ruin.
