This is a nice addition to the Front Lines series and I definitely liked the story as a whole although I didn't really understand what was going on until the reveal. To be honest, Dead of Night made me ship Rio and Jack and I just have a feeling that one of them will die before the end of the series and if this happens I might cry. I did really like this story but I really don't understand why they were in Wales. Would a US army unit really travel to Wales just to do some training? Probably not, maybe I'm just digging too deep...

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

A nice short featuring Rio Richlin. It's a retelling of A Christmas Carol featuring Rio in the role of Scrooge.

A great addition to the Front Lines series. I was a little unsure where this was going but thought it was a great way of showing a bit more of Rio's journey to becoming the soldier we see in Silver Stars.

Not a particularly memorable read, but I did enjoy my time reading this book, the short read it was.
One thing this book really raised in me was the confusion of why it continues to happen. Wars. This short story tells the stories of war "veterans" from the past, present and future. Although the methods may have changed, in each sorry, they come to a bad end. And it hit me how while the protection has heightened, so has the methods of harm. It's disgusting on a hundred levels.
