Introduction by Camestros Felapton: As well as being a major character in the SPTSFSAW shared universe, and appearing in the not Hugo nominated short story ‘The Dead Tell No Secrets of the Dead’, Chiseled McEdifice is also a noted authority on the principles of military conflict and, in his spare time a scary guy who appears at random on blog comment sections. Timothy and I are delighted that he could provide some of his wisdom and experience to this collection and do hope this will be sufficient to discourage further scary messages from him.
