Just finished rereading this, it’s such a great fic! I hope you’ll come back to it someday.

Phew, you really had me worried that some of your heroes wouldn't make it.

OMFG, I did expect the bastard to turn up but not like that... that's a very clever twist, to have him indoctrinated and empowered!

A tough badass fight, and the end that Singh deserved. I'm just sorry for all the people that had to die because of his selfishness.

I so love when someone tells the Reapers to stuff it. Great work, Coats and team. I just hope that someone takes out Singh the way he deserves.

My, that was intense! I've always felt that the game didn't do justice to the fighting done on the invaded worlds, so I am more than glad to see that someone is making up for that.

So great! I meant to review sooner, but I had to think of how to word it. I'm so glad again that Clark got his hands on that Spirit Light Machine Gun. It's saved his bacon more times than I can count. I've no doubt Atlas is going to get worse before anything else. The confrontation with the banshee was so cool. You made it even more powerful than it is in game. My favorite part was where Coats just froze in place when that biotic blast was coming his way. Thank goodness for Tacita. On a side note, you may want to have Tacita utilize gunplay as well as hand to hand and biotics for variety's sake. I hope we actually get to see Anderson do some fighting himself. In the future it would be a good conversation when Anderson brings up the apartment and Shepard's clone to Coats. I can't imagine what his reaction to that would be. Update again!

Dude, this is an awesome story. I have spent weeks looking for someone who tackled the homefront of Earth while the rest of the galaxy burned.

So cool. I love that Shepard has the War Hero background and Jarar was there during the Torfan raid. Having Devon at the Skyllian Blitz seeing Shepard in action was also a great touch. I'm quite pleased that friction is starting to develop between Atlas and Anderson. I should have seen the indoctrinated civilian twist coming but I never considered it. Atlas is now going to go through the population by process of elimination which definitely isn't going to end well. One of my favorite parts of this chapter is where they were using thermal clips as currency at the poker table. I really hope Devon will be okay. I've grown attached to your Blue Suns OCs. Hope you update again soon!

Excellent story, this deserves far more attention than it gets.

Holy god that was really close! I really didn't see how Coats was going to get out of that mess. You know darn well when things are going too smoothly, that something bad is about to happen. I can't wait for when they actually fight banshees. Those harvesters are a lot meaner and smarter than they were in-game. Keep up the good work my friend!

Outstanding work. I knew a rescue squad would manage to extract the team, but damn, do you know how to keep someone on the edge of their seat. Those Dragon's teeth in the sewer were an ingenious and terrifying setup. Considering how well this is done, I can definitely see this as canon in the franchise. On another note, I'm hoping Anderson gets some help from a krogan ally such as the Warlord Sentinel. One of those bruisers lugging around those big ass warhammers would definitely be great.

This chapter was so kickass! I completely forgot about the Ravager units. I was also afraid they wouldn't get out of that one in one piece. I definitely love what you've done with Coats quick thinking and leadership skills. Tacitas' biotic abilities are pretty damn cool too. Keep up the good work!

It's been a while since since I've read this little piece, and I can say that's it's as good as I remember it being. Keep up the good work, I look forward to reading more!

Holy Shisno! Why the hell hadn't I picked this fic up before?

Keep updating, please! I look forward to the next arcs.
