Delta Green: Strange Authorities

I've been a fan of Mythos fiction for over 20 years, and I remember when the original Delta Green books came out in the game store I worked at during that time and remember thinking the idea of using high tech spies to fight cosmic horror was brilliant, but still just as hopeless as the guys in the 1920s, which I hoped was the point.Now, years later looking back at that period through the lens of DG: Strange Authorities it makes it feel closer to a hybrid of Lovecraft & Professor Quatermass seeing the "cutting edge" tech of the 90s in 2012.An amazingly entertaining read, and it demonstrates the timeless quality of The Conspiracy. Tynes is a great author and an excellent world builder.

If you're a Delta Green fan, then you'll love this book. There's lots of action, some great characters and a modern take on eldrich evil and other odd conspiracies. I'll be certain to read the rest of these DG books.My only quibble is with the kindle version of this book. The paragraphs often run together and there's nothing to indicate a break in the continuity. Since the story jumps from one character's viewpoint to anothers, you often get confused as to who is narrating and/or there are sudden jumps to different locations and there's been no break or pause to alert you to this. It made the book aggrivatingly challenging at times.

The Delta Green offshoot of the Cthulhu mythos is a mix of interrelated short stories concerning two black-ops government organizations dealing with Cthulhu and extraterrestrials. Delta Green is the good guys, who run afoul of a group of government agents in cahoots with the bad guys. The characterizations are well done, the stories good, and I only wish there was more Delta Green fiction.

Solid departure from the common fare authors use to mimic the Lovecraft universe. What made it great was that the simple intrigues and activities of the intelligence agency was just as intricate, bloody and inhuman as the supernatural world the agents were countering. A few minor plot holes but a nice enjoyable book.

Hello, this is a very fascinating and disturbing tale. Way, way out there. Very well written. You have to appreciate this kind of stuff to fully appreciate and enjoy it. Thanks.

What can I say? If you're a fan of HP Lovecraft's mythos, this is a must-read. Continuation of the Mythos into modern times, and even absorbs some conspiracies and plotlines that, at the time ,HPL did not recognize. Highly recommended to fans of the genre, and also to newbies. PS Kindle has HPL's complete works for $2.99...... what a steal.

Bloodshed, implacable monsters, bureaucratic infighting, and paranoia.

I enjoyed the book but often got confused with which character was who or what. A decent story nevertheless. I felt the ending was too short. I wish more had happened at the end to resolve some of the plot stories.

Great delta green fiction
