Hunter Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Well I have to say this is a nice little gem of a story. I usually do not read while I'm writing but I had to take a short break from my own intense story I'm writing to give my brainpan a bit of a break. I have to say that there is a lot of effort and time that is going in this story with a lot of details about futuristic kinds of weaponry, along with foreign plant life and animals on differing worlds. The caliber of story telling and details are right up there with other famous writers of this genre. To be honest I think this story could easily find it's way on to the bookshelves in stores. It is very well done and I've been enjoying it tremendously. Now I only have to wait until the other chapters come out and figure out when I'm going to take another break from my own writing. I'm one of those authors who can't read other stories while I'm writing because it messes up my own style. Don't know why that happens but it sucks sometimes because I can't enjoy other stories while writing, lol. I had to wait a whole week after reading these chapters before I could get back to my own story, but the read was worth it all.I'm not so good at giving synopsis of stories providing an overview for readers to give them a taste of the story. All I can offer up here is to say it is very well written and thought out. The story pulls you in from the get-go, and you can easily connect with the characters. I highly recommend you read the preface because it will give you some insight into the transition of the meat and potatoes portion of the overall story. It's a long one, but it is one that is a nail-biter, and will keep you on the edge of your seat. The author does a good job of giving you a sort of back story to the main story that begins with chapter one, and it will also give you a good idea of all the technical aspects the author has put into providing the reader a glimpse with futuristic weaponry. So if nothing else give the preface a read, and I'm sure you will be hooked.Great job Kyle, and I hope to see more chapters churning out here real soon.Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Norris Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Hunter? When you decide you need to take another break, try Kyle's O'Connell's Grenadiers. It is a companion story to Brile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Yeah well it's bad enough that it took me a whole week to get back into writing mode so I think I had better wait until I get Brile completed first. I just hope it isn't one of those stories that gets started and doesn't finish, or if it does finish then doesn't take until two years later, lol. I hate that, lol. It's why I don't start submitting my stories unless they are done or pretty much done. This way people don't have to wait forever in between chapters, lol. My readers can hardly wait one week until the next as it is, lol. Anyway, I'm sure this one will be finished at some point and until then I better not start on any new ones or I'll really mess up my writing. It sucks that I can't write and read other works, but my style gets totally catywonkers when I do that. I made the mistake of doing that when I was writing Sweet Cheeks and I had to chuck about 4 or 5 chapters worth of stuff because I had taken on the style and characteristics of the writing and story I was reading at the time. So maybe after I get done with Brile I'll give Grenadiers a whirl. We will have to see. Maybe while I take a break in between stories. Thanks for the suggestion.

Steve T. Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Man! I surely hope this one picks up again! I was really disappointed to see how long it had been since this one was updated. I'm not a huge fan of sci-fi type stories, but some of you guys here on CR are making me rethink that. :-) This tale has me hooked. I started with the CSU stories, drifted over here for "Revolutions" and have been working my way through most of the completed stories. Recently, I started on some of the "in progress" tales. Generally, I hate to start a story that's not finished as I REALLY get emotionally invested in the characters and their plights, but the quality of the writing on this site has caused me to say "the hell with that" and jump into some that are still being written. I just hope I still remember what's happened when any updates are released. (Hint, hint!) Kyle, thanks for a super start to this story. This is too good to leave hanging.

Kyle Aarons Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Actually, I have chapter 14 of both Brile and O'Connell back from an editor and will be finalizing in the next couple of weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Aarons Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 keep in mind, if you read Brile you should also read O'Connell, they are in the same universe after all... Steve T. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roger0002 Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Having been reading Kyle's stories for several years now, I think I can spot where he's headed with things, and I really don't want to spoil anything with conjecture but I just have a feeling that things are about to get, as Spock would say, "Fascinating." And I really think we are going to be in for a shocking surprise when it comes to Cory. I personally feel that he is a lot more than what he seems to be.

roger0002 Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Can't wait, but if I take a guess, I'd say it has something to do with a small tattoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve T. Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Still liking this one! Multiple story lines going on, with Candice hopefully gathering a little team together to aid her. I hope she manages to get things straight in her head and hooks up again with the others. A bit of a mini cliff-hanger with the group ready to go ultra hunting. I just hope chapter 15 isn't too far off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Kaius Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Kyle I'm not a big sci-fi reader but I have enjoyed Brile and O'connel's Grenadiers. But I'm still trying to get a visualization of a frame. I keep picturing the mechanical loader from the Aliens movie with guns on it. Am I wrong. Further details would be great.Kaius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rilbur Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 I suspect mechs from Mechwarrior is his inspiration, but don't quote me on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zergrinch Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 I view frames as Starship Troopers Marauder Mech Suits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rilbur Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 I could almost see that, except for the fact that they mount too many weapons. Something like five or six separate weapons on light frames, IIRC. Seemed a tad bit too many for powered armor, which is a (more or less) man sized form of a tank that you wear as a suit.

GoM Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Mechwarriors are huge 50-70 tons stuff. Battleframes are as said man sized. Zergrinch starship troopers is much closer in my view. Another place to look is the game firefall amd the books in the mindwars book series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
