I enjoyed this piece. The first Magnet is one of my favorite stories by Adams, and Magnet: Special Mission is a worthy follow up. After reading this in the alpha stage I was really impressed by how well it came out in the final version, especially in regards the voice of Magnet, the main character.
Setting: 3/5. The concept is based around a near future Earth that has been attacked by aliens, the Toralii, after humanity developed some new toys. Nothing about the setting really wows me, and it is reasonably generic sci-fi, but hey, have to set the story somewhere. The military side of the sci-fi in this story was done well. I enjoyed the chatter among the people on the ship, talking using real world military phrases, it helped ground me in the world.
Plot: 4/5. The plot is reasonably straight forward, but considering the length of the work that is to be expected. The main character, Magnet, and some fellow soldiers have to escort an alien male to his wedding, as it will help humanity forge an alliance with this race against the Toralii. One thing that I really liked about this plot was how it starts and ends in the same place, like coming full circle. The ending was satisfying.
Characters: 4/5. With limited page count, I think the author did a really good job of introducing the cast, and made them characters unique enough to remember despite introducing about half a dozen characters early.
Suspension of Disbelief: 5/5. I had no problem believing what was going on, despite some of the technology used. The character decisions also well justified and believable.
Pacing: 4.5/5. I didn't get bored. Even the scenes without action were interesting and carried the story well. In fact, I think the slower parts of the story, such as the opening scene and some of the chatter over coms on the ship, were actually my favorite parts.
Voice: 5/5. This is written in first person, and as with the last work Magnet really steals the show. Magnet's voice is definitely the strongest among any characters Adams has created so far. There were no head hoping of POV problems that I could see.
Prose: 4/5. The prose was well written, and tied in well with the main character's voice. Some good lines in there. Not sure if it will win a poetry competition, but a few turns of phrase did catch my eye.
Typos/Bad Grammar: 5/5. No Issues here.
In summary Magnet: 4/5. Special Mission is a good read, and a must read for fans of the Magnet short story. Despite its short length it is a well paced and character driven story with a good sense of resolution at the end. For the few bucks it costs it was well worth the entertainment.

Magnet Special Mission Lacuna Book 4 eBook David Adams Reviews
So far, from the entire Lacuna Series, this is my favorite. It was an awesome lunchtime read. I just couldn't put it down. I finished reading riding an adrenaline high.
It was really great, grabbed me straight away ... I want MORE ) I really need a whole novel of Magnet pleaseXXX
Loved the Lacuna Series. Can't wait til Ashes of Humanity comes out this years. I don't know the month. I wish there were alot more in the series.
This is a very good short story. Worth the time to read. It took me about 2 hours to read, but I'm slow reader. It's worth the time.
A great short story, space, aliens, strong women and even stronger men. It's a good thing that the story was short because it's one of those that ya just can't put down till your done.
I've read four Lacuna stories now, and I've rated them all as 5s. David Adams tells compelling stories in a very readable writing style. The short stories are a great introduction to his Lacuna universe and are very enjoyable. The main character in this story, nicknamed "Magnet," is a very likable fellow and one that you quickly come to care about. I'd recommend Magnet's special mission to any of my friends who enjoy science fiction.
Firstly, let me state that I know the author personally.
I've read all of David's Lacunaverse stories so far, and enjoyed them all. Light weight, and a reasonably quick read, but still fun and worthwhile. This picks up where the first Magnet story left off, and left me wanting more.
Magnet (short for Chick Magnet), is a pilot on the "Sydney", who volunteers for a special mission, taking him and the crew to somewhere mankind has never been before.
It's good to see sci fi where the non-humans don't seem to be... human.
If you've enjoyed the other stories (novels and short stories) in the Lacunaverse, then you should get this. If you haven't read any of them yet, then get started!
