"Just Another Day" marks the beginning of a new chapter in Military Science Fiction, an exhilarating sneak-peek at the universe of the much-anticipated upcoming book "ATLAS" soon to be released from Isaac Hooke (to be notified when the full novel releases, one can sign-up for the mailing list here: [...]).It's an exciting romp from Hooke, filled with military action, steeped with a strong Science Fiction bent. Hooke grabs you and tosses you headfirst through the story, and you'll find your eyes glued to your Kindle as you read the whole thing from front to back. If you're a fast reader, you might be able to finish it all in one sitting.Hooke demonstrates not only a keen mind for storytelling, but also a sound knowledge of the principles of science, not just Science Fiction, as one character experiences decompression sickness, and the effect of a gunshot through a spacesuit is described accurately.Facehopper, Big Dog, Trace and Ghost all make an appearance, and "Just Another Day" does an admirable job of introducing the characters that will likely also be in the full-length novel release of "ATLAS" from Isaac Hooke. The characters are fleshed out in as much depth as the short story length can possibly allow, all against the backdrop of an excellent Military Science Fiction story line.
