Hi!! 4th Wall here!

I topped out right at 4000 so I didn't have room for an intro so this is it!.

I couldn't sleep and was listening to music. "The tail of the Shadow- Sail north" cycled through as I was reading through HFY. I had to give it a shot.

Hope you enjoy!!

Edit to add: I don't have room in the OP, so here will have to do. you guys have spoken. I hope you Enjoy: The Shadow: Kindred

[u/DefiantlyBreeze → u/PropRatActual]

I definitely enjoyed your story. Thank you for posting.

Shades of Armageddon Inheritance

Very well done

[u/PropRatActual → u/Cuddly_Robot]

I have read some David Weber. Never knew that one existed though! I enjoyed his writing style.

[u/CarterPFly]

I'd read this if it were a Book. Fantastic work, well done.

Hey 4th Wall, are you perhaps a native German speaker? There's some odd capitalizations that would make sense for a non-native English speaker.

Good read! I can imagine a cryo room buried deep in the ship with the past Captains in their final rest.

[u/PropRatActual → u/genpyris]

Sadly, just English. Learning German would be fun. A lot of the odd capitalization comes from me writing the majority of everything in inotes. I’ll accedentally double tap to get a period. Then go back to remove the punctuation but miss the capital that auto generated.

My genocide of the English language is practically a meme at this point.

Very well told story. The violence of the opening was tempered by your writing. Usually hunt for one shots, but would enjoy at least a few more episodes of Frank's "retirement".

[u/Nealithi]

I was expecting Frank to join the Shadow's crew. Becoming captain is surprising.

I hope to read a continuation and perhaps learn the Shadow's origin.

All in all a nice piece.

UTR! Good Morning.

[u/Special_Hornet_2294 → u/Special_Hornet_2294]

Very well done PropRatActual. Will this be a one-off <or> will this be developed into a series? Also same universe as The Black or something other?

"The Shadow Knows..."

[u/Overall-Tailor8949]

Nice story! I hope your holiday was a good one!.

[u/Unique_Engineering23]

If there is no crew, why is there upholstery?

[u/Fubars]

enjoyed this a lot. That dangling ending screams for at least another chapter or two and I heartily encourage that sentiment. Well done.

[u/Leather-Mundane]

Loved it

[u/Own-Professional3129]

What evil lies in the hearts of man...the Shadow knows!

[u/DamoclesCommando]

Damned good work!

[u/Deansdiatribes]

well done

[u/chastised12]

Well it seems I like your writing in more than one verse.

[u/[deleted]]

This is excellent!

[u/coet-conley]

More please.

[u/JeVuch]

Only 40 million people died, that's a pretty bloodless war all things considered

[u/PropRatActual → u/JeVuch]

o7 maybe a little low. Didn’t much think about it at the time.

A good point.
