Scientific research can be hard enough without the added danger of zombies overrunning your lab, or someone tearing a hole in the fabric of space/time. Not to mention inconsiderate people throwing garbage down the bottomless pit. Luckily your new Occupational Health and Safety Officer is here to keep the risks to a minimum, so you can focus on the science, and not on the impending death.Scientific research can be hard enough without the added danger of zombies overrunning your lab, or someone tearing a hole in the fabric of space/time.

Now he and seven other misfits are going to have to learn how to weave the magical ether, and preferably not kill each other in the process. Of course, their gruff sergeant might just do that anyway, if they keep annoying him.Everyone has their reasons for joining the Imperial Legion. Some seek fame. Some are just running from something. You sign the scroll, take the Legion bronze, then you learn to hit things with a sword.

But you have to climb out of it yourself.]]> Sun, 27 Jul 2014 12:54:04 +0300 Shreiber and Tome: Unlucky Vamps https://contemporary.library.land/andrew-day/15642-shreiber-and-tome-unlucky-vamps.html https://contemporary.library.land/andrew-day/15642-shreiber-and-tome-unlucky-vamps.html
