Favourite story, Yes I admit it is long, I find it to be a good piece of what I love about sci fi. The factions are interesting and each one has clear motives even if the master I feel is not necessary.

Pros: Like the story, Characters were good having clear motivations, the setting was cool(I have thing for desperate situations)  the objective is clear and the villains are interesting

Cons: The lore kind of spills out and felt rushed out instead of a more natural expo.

Using a pre-existing plotline with the teleport technology, Capturing the feeling of many people at the time with the crumbling British empire and how many veterans of the war wanted to keep the empire together. The scenes depicting the battle in London against the creatures was edited well.
