Review by Chris Bartholomew of October Rain by Dylan J. Morgan

The novella prologue starts out with an assassin for the Martian Interstellar Correction Agency, Steele, and a rain that doesn't cleanse, but burns. It starts out with action 'Each raindrop tortures me, stinging my bruises and dribbling like acid into open wounds,' making you want to read on to find out what happened, why is the rain like acid?

Mankind teeters on the brink of extinction in a solar system choking under the glare of a dying sun. Steele has one more assignment to complete before a big payoff and the chance of a new life: a job that will reveal the true horrors of mankind's futile existence and threaten the very people who make his life worth living.

With great dialogue and fantastic descriptions, this is a fast paced, edge of your seat story of one who begins his journey with the idea of starting a new life, only to find... well, I can't tell you that, no spoilers here, but this is a fast, enjoyable read. Well done Dylan J. Morgan and the staff at Sonar4publications!
